Notes

2008-02-01 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was the installation of the used, 4-manual M.P. Möller originally built in 1915 for Seattle's Coliseum Theatre. It was replaced there by a new 4-man. WurliTzer in 1918 at which time it was relocated to Tacoma's Victory Theatre by Louis Maas. The Möller was displaced a second time in 1927 and was replaced in Tacoma by a 2/5 Smith unit organ. It was moved here to First Methodist in Yakima. In 1951, it was replaced with a new 4/32 Reuter and was reportedly broken-up for parts. The console was purchased by Rogers Jenkins and made into his first electronic organ. As of 1990, it was still in a private home in Portland. This electronic organ was the start of the Rodgers Organ Co. -Database Manager
