Unknown - Nave, Chancel, and Altar (Vintage Postcard, courtesy of T. Bradford Willis, DDS (1953)/Database Manager)
2012-10-18 - Identified through online information from Eric Dolch. -- This 1940's Laws instrument combined the original 1916 Moller Opus 2138 of St. Nicholas with Austin Opus 627 from Virginia Ave. in Atlantic City. The organs were combined and put on Austin universal chests, a four manual Austin console replaced the Moller console, the solo was enclosed with swell shades in the chamber ceiling, and an echo division was added in the dome over the high altar. This instrument played completely unaltered until Peragallo was contracted for a rebuild in 2006.<br><br>The stoplist comes from a 1982 document by the Organ Curator describing the mechanical state of the instrument. -Database Manager
