Updated through online information from Dr. David Lowry. -- Original EM Skinner, Opus 420, at Christ Church, Greenville, was enlarged with an Austin Great and an Austin console prior to 1968. The Austin Great universal chest, blower, and console were moved to Our Saviour, Rock Hill in 1968. Austin Great pipes were incorporated into Christ Church's 1968 Moller organ. Original Skinner shifter chest destroyed in Rock Hill by water from a collapsed roof. Austin chest is incorporated in present Austin 3m Opus 2688. Only Skinner pipes retained are Swell Gamba and Celeste, and Pedal 16' Bourdon.
