Notes

2015-05-30 - An original installation. Identified by Jon Busch, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- This is an original installation. The left and right display panels are speaking. The center panel is dummy. I would almost call this playable but unusable, but they do use it. It is not maintained. -Database Manager
