2008-04-17 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Originally a 2/6 Wurlitzer built for the F.O.E. lodge in Dayton, OH. Fell into disuse, so console cable was cut, and the console was lost. Organ purchased by Leonard McMahon family in 1959 for $50.00. A used 3-man. Marr & Colton console was purchased from an organ firm in Toledo, OH for $325.00. Organ moved to Seattle with McMahon family, and played in their Queen Anne home. Later sold to the Puget Sound Theatre Organ Society financed by bond sales to its members. Installed by the PSTOS at Haller Lake in 1969. Dedicated there by Tony Fenlon in Sept. 1969. Later additions included a Kinura, a Clarinet, and a Viol d'Orchestre celeste which registers automatically when the V d'O 8' or 4' are registered, but may be cut out by means of a switch.
