An original installation. Identified by Bruce Schutrum, based on personal knowledge of the organ.
-- In the early 1960s the console was gutted and replaced with Klann components - manuals, stopboard and combination action, pedalboard and two toestuds, swell, great and crescendo shoes. All wiring was replaced. This was done by a local service man. In 1973 the organ was replaced with a 13 rank Tellers
