Q: I was hoping you could help find a place that could repair this bracelet my mother received in the 1940s. I also would like to have an “A” made to match the “G” and “M.” It’s sentimental as I now work for Woodward Academy, formerly GMA ( Georgia Military Academy). Thank you so much for your help. — Mikey Brayton, email

Q: I have a Baldwin home organ my father purchased in 1971. It has upper and lower manual, two-octave pedals, an automated rhythm section and Fantom Fingers. The Fantom Fingers no longer work properly, and I’m not sure if the sound quality on the other electronic features is as it should be. Do you know of any person in the Atlanta metro area who could make a house call to service the organ? Thank you. — Bob Balyo, Marietta
