2006-12-15 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was the relocating of the Austin installed used in 1960 to the front of the room. A pedestal was built with a large platform on top. The Great, Choir, and Pedal were installed atop this pedestal - behind a wooden slat grille. The Swell was moved to the chamber immediately adjacent to the other divisions on the left wall. The chest was reduced in depth and modified with removable bottom boards - still retaining the original Austin action. The existing 2/5 Morton from the old church and still present at the front was made playable from the Austin console as the Solo division. Other new Möller ranks were added in place of existing ranks. -Database Manager

NOTES
The 1984 work involved several things:
1. The organ, previously installed used in 1960 in the rear gallery was
moved to the front of the church atop a pedestal.
2. The Swell was placed in a former closet on the left wall of the
chancel, and the original Austin chest was altered to have four legs,
a regulator underneath, and removeable bottom boards - but still re-
retaining the original Universal action. The original Vox Humana
chest was converted to electro-mechanical with a removeable bottom
board.
3. The console was relocated to the front and installed on the right
side of the chancel beneath the Echo chamber grille.
4. The existing, used Robert Morton that had been installed in the old
church and relocated to the present edifice was made playable on the
Austin console from the Swell manual, and affected by all inter- and
intra-manual Swell couplers.
5. Tonal changes were made to the Great, Swell, and Pedal as indicated
in the stoplist above. The Pedal 16' Bombarde is enclosed inside the
pedestal - beneath the Great and Choir. The new manual reed stops
were built by Moller.
The Morton chests were damaged by water due to a roof leak that developed
during the winter of 1996-97. It was releathered in stages by Stettner
Pipe Organs of Seattle, WA. between October 1997 and January 1998.
