2012-06-17 - Identified through online information from Stephen J. Perlaky. -- This is essentially a new instrument using pipework and some other components from the existing Gilbert tonal rebuild of a 1930s era Kilgen. Southfield added six ranks, replaced all of the old Ventil Windchests, added a transposer and a solid state capture system, provided a new adjustable organ bench, and re-wired the entire organ. -Database Manager
