8 Diapason 73 pipes zinc and lead
8 String 73 pipes zinc & lead!
8 Vox Humana 73 pipes reed
spread over 2 manuals and pedal in typical theatre fashion

16 Subbass-Flute 97 pipes 1-24 original, rest Estey Flute d"Amour
8 Diapason 73 pipes original
8 Salicional 73 pipes Estey, zinc & spotted metal, Haskell basses

stop tablets and toe studs for harp,chimes, and toy counter remained on console, but all
