Notes

2007-11-28 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. Relocated in 1940s to St. Luke Lutheran Church, Chicago, Illinois. Replaced in Chicago by Levsen. -Database Manager

2015-08-23 - The St. Louis Fox Lobby Möller was removed in the '40s. It was never played for shows due to union problems. (It had a player and the union wanted to use a real organist.) It was installed in the First Baptist Church of Mount Vernon IL. It is still there but only remnants. Wicks redid it in the early '90s I think. One of the Wicks tuners told me he has serviced it there. It has a plaque on the console saying it was from the Fox. --Al Haker (June 2012) -Database Manager
