Notes

2005-11-24 - Identified from the Reuter Opus List, provided by Chris Leaver, Reuter Organ Co., November, 2005. -Database Manager

2006-12-15 - From Brent Johnson, PIPORG-L 14 December 2006: The organ is electro-pneumatic, and the console has a few minor alterations, but otherwise it looks and sounds very much like a Wicks from the same period. -Database Manager

2015-09-01 - Updated through online information from R. Joseph Wiessinger. -- Opus #1 of Reuter in Trenton , IL did not burn as has been stated. A storm came through the town and blew a factory wall in on the organ destroying it. Opus #2 was then constructed and is still going strong in Mattoon, IL. -Database Manager
