•        these
"before" pictures
were taking from
a recent rewiring
job in Chicago.  
We believe at
Praestant
Associates that
the quality you
can't see is as
important as the
quality you can
see and hear.
•        these "after"
pictures were
taken from the
same project in
Chicago. The
organ is now safe
from fire hazard
and is no longer
malfunctioning
due to shorting
wires and poor
craftsmanship.
