DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Updated through online information from Jack Umholtz. -- I recall that I was told by Paul Kehler, my organ teacher in the 1970s and a lifelong resident of Mount Carmel, PA, that the rebuild in the 1970s was done by Clair Snyder. On my visit to the church on 04/14/12, I found an S.G. Bullions, Organ Builder plate on the 1970s console, under the relocated original Möller plate.
A Google search found that Samuel Gamble "Bud" Bullions operated S.G. Bullions & Co, Pipe Organ Builders in Pittston, PA (near Wilkes-Barre, PA) until his death in 1983.
It is not known if Clair Snyder purchased the new console through Bullions, or if Bullions did the rebuild and my recollection is incorrect.
Also, the church facility has now reopened as the Our Lady of Fatima Church of the Catholic Church of the East. I was told the instrument was powered up and played for the bishop, Bishop Ramzi R. Musallam, for Easter Sunday Mass.
