Database Manager on January 5th, 2012:
Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This organ began life as the residence organ for the Cambridge, Massachusetts residence of E. Power Biggs. It was dubbed "The Cambridge Portativ" and traveled with Biggs around the United States. Sometime after the 1956 AGO Convention in New York City, the organ was sold by Biggs and refurbished by Schlicker. They added a 12-pipe 8' Principal extension to the 4' Octave, and a 45-pipe 1-3/5' Terz. The original number of speaking stops was 28 and the limited combination action was a Freie Kombination system with finite capability. So it is not presently known if the two added stops replaced other original stops leaving the total at 28; or if in the Schlicker rebuild they rebuilt the stoprail and combination action to add more stops.
