Notes

2007-12-15 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. -Database Manager

2012-04-21 - Updated through online information from David Kraft. -- The original installation had an artiste cabinet. However the cabinet was "gutted" and made into a book case. The organ has a 21 note Deagan chime unit, and a 61 note Deagan harp unit. The organ was moved into a private residence in 1973. The current installation is also, in a basement chamber with tone chute to first floor. The primary pouches on the duplex windchest were replaced with PVC pouches recommended by MP Moller (1973). The switches were refurbished with PVC bladders. The PVC didn't last nearly as long as leather or rubberized cloth. The organ was in playable condition until 1984. Presently the organ is still awaiting restoration or a new home. -Database Manager

2024-09-07 - Updated through online information from Jim Tartella (September 2, 2024): I visited this area. Building was torn down and is now parking for the University. Not sure when the organ was removed or if it was lost with this building. -Jim Stettner
