2009-02-15 - Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- This was the addition of an 85-pipe Principal unit to the Great. It was unexpressive, on its own chest, and had its own regulator. The stops played at six pitches on the Great: 8, 4, 2-2/3, 2, 1-1/3, and 1; and at two pitches on the Pedal: 8 & 4. The Great stops are controlled by added drawknobs to the right of the original Möller stop tablets. The drawknobs are only labeled with the pitch of the stop, and are above a large label engraved "Unenclosed Open Diapason." In 1992, John R. Mitchell of Salt Lake City was hired to move the organ from the rear gallery to the main floor. It is housed in a small chamber at the front with the original case removed. The Kajokowski Unenclosed Open Diapason is located atop the chamber. Documented October 5, 1996. -Database Manager

NOTES
This Möller "Portable" was originally installed in the rear gallery of the
church.
In 1982, Kajkowski Family Organs of [then] Great Falls, MT. was contracted
to add an 85-pipe unit of Open Diapason pipes on a new chest with their
own regulator. The pipes were painted gold. Some of the 8' bass pipes are
of aluminum.
The unit plays on the Great at six pitches and on the Pedal at two pitches.
The original Möller Great 8' Lieblich Gedeckt stop slide was blocked-on as
a feed for an added relay which controlls both the added Unenclosed Open
Diapason and the 8' Lieblich Gedeckt. As a result of this and other changes,
the Swell 8' Quintadena, 8' Oboe, 2-2/3' Nazard, and 2' Piccolo can no
longer be coupled to the Great.
The Unenclosed Open Diapason and the 16' Lieblich Gedeckt are controlled
by drawknobs placed in the right end of the stop rail. These seven stops
can be registered by hand or by means of two added combination action toe
studs and a cancel toe stud.
In 1992, John R. Mitchell of Salt Lake City, UT. was hired to move the
organ to the front of the church. The original Möller case was removed
and the chassis placed in an expressive chamber with the Kajkowski addi-
tions and regulator on top. The console resides on the right side of the
church (when facing forward) with the organist facing the congregation.
