2013-05-28 - Updated through online information from steve bartley. -- In the early 1960s Austin replaced the original console with a new standard tilt tab Austin model. They also updated the note pneumatics to a newer style. The organ originally contained an echo division. It was located in the hallway behind the organ chamber in what looks like a closet. At some time in the past the chest, pipes and shades were removed and the enclosure was fitted with shelves to become music storage, but the shade frame, on the roof of the enclosure, remains as does the linkage for operating the shades. No other changes have been made to the organ. -Database Manager
