Most of Skinner #828 (the parts that Schantz did not use in their rebuild) was removed by George Plitnik's Appalachia Organ Company in August 1982. When I last saw these parts, they were in George's barn in Mount Savage, Maryland, but since then they may have been scattered around various rebuilding and upgrading projects on regional organs. George passed away in September 2021, but you might get more information from Mark Steiner at Steiner-Murphy in Cumberland, Maryland.
