Notes

2005-08-22 - Identified through on-line information from Lawrence Bishop. -- Entire organ in swell box, with shutters on the top  sound comes out the top of the case. Dummy pipes on each side of the front of the case. Note: organ was cleaned by Berkshire Organ Company in 1968. (I worked for Berkshire Organ Co. at the time, and did most of the pipe washing.) Someone has also replaced the original rectifier. -Database Manager
