Notes

2012-06-07 - Identified through online information from Will Dunklin. -- This organ included an echo division. This was a Wurlitzer church organ, not a relocated theatre organ. It was replaced by a Casavant organ in the mid 1960's. -Database Manager

2013-12-31 - Updated through online information from Stephen Best. -- In 1960, the organ was relocated to the home of James Thomas in Olean, NY. Mr. Thomas gave it to Michigan Technical University, where it was installed in the ice arena, renovated by the Wicks Organ Company, and first heard in 1975. In 2009, it was removed by the G.M. Buck Organ Company of Grand Rapids, MI, and placed in storage. -Database Manager
