Notes
2023-09-13 - The organ is about 60% functional. I was granted permission to restore as much as possible. It has been over 8 years since last played until today.
It has numerous non-functional stops and almost every rank is missing at least one pipe.
The console has had an old style MIDI system added which ran off of a floppy disk system on an old windows PC.
It will need deeper cleaning and some relay as well key and action work done. -Davis R McArthur
2023-09-15 - Originally installed in 1912 as Op. 413 at St. Mark Methodist Church in Atlanta; this console is a replacement console installed before the organ at St. Mark was replaced by an Aeolian-Skinner in 1970. -Jeff Scofield
2023-10-11 - Recent updates:
* Organ swell shutters are now unhooked and fully open as they were inoperative
* Clarinet rank is non-functional
* Computer for midi is INOP
* Pedals only have a single octave , repeating C1 instead of C2, however all 32 work.
* Some stops are playing on all manuals regardless of correct division
* Chimes play 80% complete
* Swell manual linkage is freeing up with regular usage and more notes now play correctly
* Many pipes are damaged and or missing from both chest 1 and 2
* Many, many notes are in the wrong place... so often notes may miss in entirety or not be in proper scale -Davis R McArthur
