NOTES
This was the electrification of the Estey primaries, conversion of the
original Estey Great and Swell into the "new" Swell; addition of a new
Moller Great division located atop the Estey swellbox - all still within
the free-standing Estey case. The first nine pipes of the new 8' Principal
were offset and visible above and behind the original Estey facade pipes.
A new E-P powered Moller drawknob console was installed in fixed position
at the right side of the chancel platform with the organist facing across
the chancel.
The church building was sold to Hollywood as a set for a new TV sitcom
starring Patty Duke. The organ was removed by Clint Meadway of Meadway &
Stettner Pipe Organs of Monroe, Washington along with church volunteers on two
days in October, 1994 - just before escrow closed. The organ was placed
in storage pending completion of the new edifice.
