NOTES
As originally built and installed, the organ case was in the same location
as it is today. The facade is a 3-sectional pipe fence of gold-painted
pipes arranged: 11-7-11.

The original console was located directly in front of the case, on a lower
level than the present chancel, and with the organist facing across the
chancel - congregation to their left. The new Klann console was installed
in the same configuration, but on the right side of the chancel beneath
the chimes.

A new Peterson relay was installed to handle the flute switching,
replacing the original pneumatic switching. It was placed over the
removed pneumatic switches between the outer case, and the inner case.

The only tonal change was to replace the original 8' Vox Humana with a
new 8' Krummhorn with very narrow-scale resonators. The unit flute was
an open wood flute except for the 16' & 8' octaves. The Great 8' Open
Diapason was the only unexpressive rank, having pipes 1-24 in the facade
and the remainder on small, diatonically divided chests between the
facade and the inner case.
