Paul R. Marchesano on December 13th, 2020:
Much of the organ, what was in storage, has been sold/parted out by the university.

Database Manager on February 8th, 2010:
Updated through online information from Robert Wilhelm. -- This is a municipal instrument - two 4-manual consoles, one concert (drawknob) and one theater (tilting tablets) along with a Moller Artiste roll player. 14 of the 86 ranks are playing on a 3 manual console (former Waldorf-Astoria, NYC) as the "Mini-Mo". Complete instrument to be installed as funding permits. Visit website for complete specifications and current status. -- Two consoles, 4 manual Concert & 4 manual Theater, includes Artiste Roll Player

Database Manager on September 29th, 2009:
Updated through online information from Stephen Hall. -- The university has completed an interim instrument in Sharp Concert Hall using 11 ranks and unit chests from Opus 5819 and a three manual console and two ranks from another Möller, plus one rank and a blower from a Wurlitzer. The substituted ranks were required because of the lower air pressure used on the interim instrument. The entire instrument will be installed in the future after the building is modified and enlarged to provide space for chambers and a basement blower room.

Database Manager on September 13th, 2008:
Updated through online information from Jeremy Wance.

Database Manager on April 15th, 2007:
Identified through online information from Wesley Paulson. -- Relocated from Philadelphia's Civic Center through OCH. I saw a reference to the move of this organ in "The Stentor," the newsletter published by Friends of the Wanamaker Organ.
