Notes
2007-07-27 - Identified through online information from Douglas W. Craw. -Database Manager
2015-08-23 - In January 1963, the dedication recital was played by Paul Manz with the Lutheran Choir of Chicago singing.
In 1990-1991, the combination and crescendo actions were replaced with a solid-state system.
In 1994 much of the instrument was releathered, the Positiv manual was moved to its current location on the front of the choir gallery (now becoming a Ruckpositiv), tremulants were rebuilt, and 32' electronic extensions were added to two stops in the pedal division.
In 1997, a digital electronic relay was installed, allowing both the Gallery and Antiphonal Organs to be played by either organ console. Likewise a Midi playback system was added and the organ's rectifiers were replaced.
In 2000, a complete cleaning of the instrument was undertaken, a new swell-box motor was built, and a new pedalboard was installed. -Database Manager
