As of 2022 the fate of the organ is unknown. The auditorium was substantially renovated by the new congregation in 2022 with before/after images showing that the organ chamber space was re-purposed. (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=207801054925090&set=a.206149411756921) The listing page at the Organ Clearing House is filed under "achived", not "sold".
