Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is believed to have been electrified at some point in its history. It was replaced by a new 3-man., 43-rank Schantz during a 1990 sanctuary renovation. The organ was dispersed for parts with some of the pipework being acquired by a church in Allentown, PA. Source: 11/9/08 e-mail from parish organist Nina Rowley.
