Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is recessed into a chamber in the right corner of the front wall. The main organ case has a 3-sectional pipe fence facade of 29 gold-painted pipes arranged 5-19-5. In addition, the two access doors on either side of the organ are surmounted with 5 gold-painted dummmy pipes each. There is a disconnected drawknob labeled as "8 Melodia" for the Great. At some point, someone added a toeboard and a jump slide to the Great. But this necessitated the removal of the swellbox. The organ was later returned to its original configuration and the swellbox reinstated. Only this drawknob remains. The organ had an on-going problem with winding in the winter months. Sliders would not fully line-up between the chest table and the toeboard. So the toeholes and slider holes were enlarged through burning in the autumn of 1988. Documented Oct. 26, 1988.
