There are 8 stops on the Swell but only 7 swell knobs. The organ was electrified with new electric manuals and 32 note pedalboard. All the removed mechanical key action parts exist in storage with the organ. The organ was originally installed in First Baptist, Petersburg, VA. It is unknown when it was moved to Blackstone, VA.
