Notes
2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1995. -Database Manager
2006-11-16 - Updated through information adapted from <i>E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List</i>, by Sand Lawn and Allen Kinzey (Organ Historical Society, 1997), and included here through the kind permission of Sand Lawn: <br><i>Extant; unaltered.</i> -Database Manager
2007-04-19 - Updated through online information from Trevor Dodd. -- -The organ is extant and completely original. The organ needs to be releathered and mechanically tuned up a bit. The combination action is completely unusable at this time. The organ can be played for demonstration purposes, but at this time is too unreliable for public performances. Some manual pistons have a "second touch" action that works for the pedal stops. The combination action is the vertical selector type. Blower is 20HP (440V) Spencer; it delivers 7.5" static to the Swell, Great, Choir, Pedal and Echo, 15" to the main Solo, and 20" to the Solo Tuba and Pedal unit reed. 30A rectifier to replace generator that is still there, but disconnected -- Choir, Swell, Solo, and Echo chests are 73-note chests for use with the super couplers. -Database Manager
