Taking apart Wurlitzer 4500 organ for moving

Taking apart Wurlitzer 4500 organ for moving

2006-10-16 by ebodeux

Hello, wondering if anyone has any advice on how to take apart a 
Wurlitzer 4500 organ so it can be moved. It won't fit through the door 
but needs to be moved out of the house. I guess it is doable (?) to 
partially take it apart, but I do not know that much about organs and 
need to move it after my grandmother passed away. 

I also have a picture of the organ and specs on it if this would help. 
It is *not* a theater organ, has two keyboards, pedal board, etc. 

Any advice or links to resources appreciated. 

Thanks!
Eve in Denver

Hello:I move organs all the time,if it doesn't fit through the door the 
normal way, you should try to take the legs off of it and turn it over on 
its side,if you have a 4 wheel dolly, set it on the dolly, that way you can 
swing it around better and  you can get it through the doorway on its 
side.you should never have to take it apart.
