Updated through online information from James R. Stettner.
Database Manager on October 17th, 2006:
Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The Great, Positiv, and Pedal divisions are exposed in the front on both sides of the chancel. The expressive Swell is on the right side behind the exposed pipework. The Positiv Kleine Erzähler and Erzähler Celeste are enclosed in the Swell. The console was later fitted with a new Peterson solid state combination action. The entire organ was substantially rebuilt by Marceau & Associates of Portland, Oregon in 2004, and this included a new console. The original console was sold to Clinton B. Meadway of Monroe, Washington, who had it refinished and installed it at St. John's Episcopal in Butte, Montana in 2005 where it replaced that parish's original war-time Moller console, whose phosphor bronze key, piston, coupler, and stop contacts were all failing and breaking.
