Notes

2009-03-01 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. -Database Manager

2009-09-03 - Updated through online information from Rick Maryman. -- One windchest replaced about 1991 due to internal splits, exact replica made by OSI. Originally, this organ had perflex, but was re-done when perflex failed; Möller recovered all pouchboards and primary actions with leather. -Database Manager
