Database Manager on January 19th, 2006:

Identified through online information from Will Scarboro. -- 18 ranks of pipes were prepared for and never installed. Organ was originally installed in the Westcott Auditorium. Echo organ added by Skinner (opus 473-E) in 1931. Echo organ had its own two-manual console. A Harp from Skinner opus 766 was added in the late 1930s. Organ was moved to Opperman Music Hall in the Music building in the late 1940s. Echo organ was placed elsewhere in the building. A Positiv division was added to the organ in the 1960s. The organ was sold to Riverside Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida in 1975. The Pedal Trombone, Solo, Positiv, and parts of the Swell and Choir organs were used in the rebuilding of the church's Skinner organ. The remainder was sold. The Skinner echo organ (473-E) was sold ca. 1976.
