Updated through online information from David M Storey. -- Originally with 2 sets of swell shades, interior set gone, 1 reed rank from swell gone, maybe a 4' Clarion? All pipes appear to be in place and in relatively good condition, very few are broken, extrememly dirty, church interior has been spray painted with much overspray in/on the great pipes. Most trackers replaced with AL wire most of which is now bent and broken,several manual keys fallen, many stop faces missing. Church does not use/maintain the organ but has been advised to never part with it, case is used for storage of electric keyboards Otherwise all parts, pipes and mechanisms appear to be extant. Bellows and windline leather is rotten. Not known if the blower works.Both manual slider chests are poked full of bleed holes. Pedal chests use ventils for stop action. Organ examined May 17, 2008.
