Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- This was an electrification of the church's existing 1923 Bennett, Op. 912. The original chests were retained, but the pouch rails were removed and Reisner 601s were installed. One new rank of pipes by Laukhuff was added on a new E-M chest built by Fritts: a 49-pipe 1-1/3' Larigot, which also played as a tc 2-2/3'. The original keydesk was also retained, and all the T-P keying and switch stacks were removed and replaced by Reisner gang switch relays. The church later began another project of enlargement begun by John Wodruff of Portland, Oregon, but he was unable to complete the work. The project was altered and completed by Stettner Pipe Organs of Seattle utilizing the used Möller already acquired by the church - opus 6133, 1933 (from an abandoned church in the St. Louis area).
