2023-08-07 - Originally built with tubular-pneumatic action and console attached to the casework. The organ was later electrified (date given as after 1962) and the console was moved across the chancel. No apparent tonal modifications were made besides an additional 8' Open Diapason drawknob amongst the Great and Pedal drawknobs with black lettering (Great drawknobs have black lettering while the Pedal and Coupler drawknobs have red lettering) making it confusing on wheter this stop was for the Great or Pedal division. (Most likely the latter) Rebuilt in 1987 with much new pipework and additional chests for the Great and Pedal divisions as well as a new console with provisions for more stops. Original console relocated to the Prince Albert Historical Museum where it is currently on display. -The Zach
