Swell stopped flute and Pedal 16' Bourdon on E-P unit chests. Original E-P unit switching was replaced by Harold B. Curryer of Spokane with a Peterson switching system -- probably sometime in the 1980's. The console was disconnected in October 1994 by Meadway & Stettner in preparation for a major chancel renovation. It was reconnected before Easter 1995 by Jim Stettner and the console cables were attached to Peterson junction plugs which can be connected to two different junction locations under the chancel floor.

NOTES
The entire organ is housed in a well placed chamber at the front of the church on the central
axis. A large shuttered opening permits good tonal egress.
The top 7 pipes of the Gedeckt unit (2' extension) break back to 4' pitch. The top 7 pipes of
both the 8' Salicional and 8' Voix Celeste (4' extension) break back to 8' pitch.
The console was disconnected in October 1994 by Meadway & Stettner in preparation for a chancel
renovation. It was placed on a movable platform built by the church prior to Easter 1995.
Peterson junction boards were installed in two floor locations so that the console can be moved
and "plugged" into either of the two locations in the chancel.
