2023-07-07 - Organ is intact, although slightly damaged by vandals. It's certainly restoreable. Blower works, but severe leaks in reservoir. A few broken trackers, and one missing façade pipe. Organ plays. Plans are to open a wedding venue/resort in the site, using the organ as the backdrop for a bar. No plans to restore organ to working condition at present, but also no plans to destroy the works of the organ - just leave it to slowly moulder away. -Russel Oliver
