       Möller   Op. 11501   1981   3/50

       Replaced Möller Op. 11274 (with a virtually identical
       stoplist) installed in 1978 and badly damaged by fire 
       the following year. The factory specs for Op. 11501 
       seem to indicate that only the console, rebuilt for 
       11501, and the chamade were retained from 11274.
