PROJECT PHOTOS
We would like to thank Michele Schuff for her amazing job in photographing and documenting the process of renovating the Mighty Mo console, in great detail. And thanks to Leigh Burns for providing so much information and granting and obtaining necessary permissions to use materials contained on this page. The flipbook below contains just a very a small representation of some of the photos taken during this process.

Photo presentation is being updated and will be reposted soon. Thanks for your patience.
