2018-05-01 - Originally a 2m/3rk organ built by M.P. Möller. It was stored in a small church outside Madison, Wisconsin. The opus number assigned to this organ is unclear, but the console is stamped "8685" -- which is for a 3/31 Möller built for First Methodist Church in Aurora, Illinois. In 2017, Fabry, Inc. moved the organ to the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Libertyville, Illinois. Fabry added an 8' Trompette, a Peterson combination action, a diode matrix relay, and created a new swell enclosure. -Database Manager
2022-05-05 - In a May 4th, 2022 email from Phil Spressart of Fabry, Inc., he writes, "We removed Moller Op. 8685 from storage at Christ Lutheran Church in DeForest, WI. At the time we also removed another pipe organ from their sanctuary. We then rebuilt and added a Trompette to Op. 8685 and installed it in First Church of Christ, Scientist, Libertyville, IL." -Jim Stettner
