Missing from this stoplist is a Dulzian 8' in the BORSTWERK division. The 8' Dulzian was replaced with a 2' Shalemei and those pipes are stored in trays built into the side of the case. (from Andrew Scanlon, 2024-03-07)

Andrew Scanlon on March 7th, 2024:
Performed here today. The organ is in excellent working order. The 8' Dulciaan in the BORSTWERK division can be substituted with a 2' Shalmei, the pipes of which are stored in trays connected to the left side of the organ case. It was said that the Hauptwerk 2' flute can also be swapped for a Principal 2. See photos.
