Notes

2015-08-23 - The St. Louis Fox Lobby Möller was removed in the '40s. It was never played for shows due to union problems. (It had a player and the union wanted to use a real organist.) It was installed in the First Baptist Church of Mount Vernon, Illinois. It is still there but only remnants. Wicks redid it in the early '90s I think. One of the Wicks tuners told me he has serviced it there. It has a plaque on the console saying it was from the Fox. --Al Haker (June 2012) -Database Manager
