Notes
2004-10-30 - Gone? -Database Manager
2012-06-08 - Updated through online information from Stephan Drexler. -- Bellows replaced by 2 tiny ones in 1970s, inadequate to wind more than a few stops. Pneumatics recovered; operate poorly. 8' Gt Trumpet missing and stop jamb plugged. coupler knobs replaced with reed organ type. Changes were done by J. Andrew Sack. If the reservoir were restored anywhere close to original size the organ is intact enough to restore with little work needed to pipework. Chests and frames are solid. -Database Manager
