Notes

2009-02-15 - Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is housed in two free-standing "chamber cases" in the rear gallery. The cases are connected by a pipe fence facade of 35 gold dummy pipes. The chests are electro-pneumatic, but the specific type is not known. The wind pressure is 6". A new rectifier was installed in the 1990's. Documented April, 1997. -Database Manager
