I don't know where Mr. Yeater got his information, but the practice room where the Aeolian-Skinner was located was in the basement of Macky at the other end of the building. Our company, (Fred H. Meunier & Associates in those days) was hired by Aeolian-Skinner to install the organ on the Macky Auditorium stage prior to the the AGO National Convention in 1968. Following the convention, we were hired to move the organ to the practice room. We serviced this organ along with the other practice organs and the Austin in the Auditorium for the next thirty years, or so.

Sold to Quimby Pipe Organs, Inc., in 2021 and installed in the north transept of Immaculata Church, Saint Marys, Kansas, after rebuilding and revoicing; it was combined with the console of Aeolian-Skinner Op. 1523.
