Notes

2009-06-26 - Identified through information in <i>List of More than 5200 Moller Pipe Organs</i> (Hagerstown, Maryland. M. P. Möller, 1928). -Database Manager

2012-02-25 - Updated through online information from Merton S. Lord. -- Originally tubular pneumatic action and cone tuned. Converted to direct electric action with slide tuning sleeves installed in 1997 due to deterioration of some lead tubing. Solid State Logics panels and rectifier utilized with components and work done by Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Mickey of Pipe Organ Service of Central Maine. This was Ed Mickey's last job prior to retirement. The voicing and pipes remain as original except for slide tuning sleeves. The pedal pipes and combination pistons are electro pneumatic. -Database Manager
