Removed from there sometime in the 1960s by the MP Moller representative from New York and relocated to the First Free Evangelical Church in Brooklyn, New York.<br><br>At that time, the original roll-player console was modified and the roll playing mechanism and was removed and disposed of. The console was clad in brown formica.
