Notes
2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1996 -Database Manager
2004-10-30 - [Great from Schlicker organ preceeding? I think this is what Noack's note says.] Listed in BOC 98:2 as a rebuild. -Database Manager
2022-09-17 - This instrument is a Noack expansion and improvement of a Schlicker organ. There are two different types of electric action used, as either the GR or the POS manual has a different attack.
The organ has not been updated since the 1971 rebuild. Setter boards (in drawers on each side of the console) can set a limited number of pistons. The organ blower is operated on a timer switch which is meant to prevent the organ from accidentally being left on and causing a fire. -Andrew Scanlon
