2014-08-29 - Updated through online information from Joe O'Donnell. -- Returned in 1997 to its original location by Bond Organ Builders, Inc. of Portland, Oregon (mounting points for the floor frame were still visible on the stage floor). Bond fitted electric-action primaries to the key and stop actions, replacing the original tubular-pneumatic action, and provided a multiplex switching system and data filer for record/playback functions. No tonal changes were made. Bond also installed a new Ventus blower and a Peterson swell motor. <br>In late 2012 the now-obsolete multiplex system failed, rendering the organ unplayable. This system has now been replaced and the organ functions once again. -Database Manager
