Notes

2009-02-13 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. -Database Manager

2022-08-10 - Judging by Facebook photos, it looks like new side chambers were created in the chancel and the organ was relocated there, probably with tonal changes. -Jeff Scofield

2023-05-14 - The Moller was incorporated into a 'new' organ created by Rister Pipe Organs of Whittier, CA. in 2011-2013. -Jim Stettner
