Identified by William Dunklin, using information from this web site: http://www.landmarktheatres.com/milwaukee/oriental-theatre/kimball-organ.<br><br>Kimball Op. 6946 was built in 1927 as a III/28 for the Stanley Theatre, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but was never installed there. After 4 years in storage, in 1931 it was installed at the Grand Theatre (nee Warner) Milwaukee. It remained there until 1973 when it again went into storage.<br><br>Opus 6949 was moved to the Oriental Theatre where it was renovated and enlarged using as many period appropriate Kimball parts as possible. It returned to regular use in 1991. -Database Manager
