A stop demonstration video on Youtube revealed the following issues. The Enclosed Great III Cymbal is not working due to a wiring issue. There are a few dead notes on the Swell 16' Gedeckt. The Choir expression shades no longer work. There are a few dead notes in the Pedal 16' Violone. In addition, the Swell 8' Vox Humana and Solo V Mixture were not working as of May 2023.
