Joe O'Donnell on February 28th, 2025:
The instrument was rebuilt between 2002 and 2006 by Rutz Organ Company, Inc. of Morristown Minnesota. The work included facade pipe painting, chest retabling, wind system changes, and tonal revisions and additions. The organ retains its original tracker pneumatic action for the manual windchests, which have been fitted with SLIC slider motors. Pedal pipes and manual borrows/extensions are on electric action unit chests. Peterson combination action.

Database Manager on May 5th, 2017:
This entry describes alterations to an existing organ. Identified by James R. Stettner, who gave this as the source of the information: Photographs of the rebuilt organ. Unknown what the exact nature of this work was. The original casework and attached keydesk were retained. But the rocker tablet stop action is clearly electric with combination action. The stoplist is much larger than the Hinners likely would have been and with stops not indigenous to a 1910 Hinners. The original Hinners was a 2-9 tracker.
