Notes

2007-02-09 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Bunn=Minnick has been caring for the Morton at the Ohio Theatre since 1969. Over the years, all of the old wiring has been replaced. The console has been expanded. A new solid state reply has been installed in place of the original pneumaic one. The stoplist has been modified. The manuals were recovered in new ivory. A 12-note 32' extension was added to the 16' Tuba Profunda. And a V Mixture was added. -Database Manager

2010-02-08 - Updated through online information from Anthony Fabro. -- Bunn=Minnick no longer services the instrument. Almost all work now done by theater's staff. -Database Manager
