Updated through information from David Finch: -- New electric console 1949 except swell pedal connects to 1915 mechanical expression mechanism. The rebuild after 1949 included not only a new console but also new Swell pipework. Suffered water damage from hurricane Opal water on console, ceiling tiles damaged great pipes. Needs releathering. Swell Rohrflute 8 (wood Gedackt) plays at 4 with reed organ type octave coupler arrangement.
