Jim Stettner on November 19th, 2020:
Updted through onlin infomation from Andew Sporner (as posted on Facebook International Pipe Organ Professionals Forum 11/18/2020), -- The final instrument was something on the order of 60 ranks and included discarded ranks from the University of Chicago Skinner organ that Roderer put in in the 1970's (after they found the original skinner ranks).
Jim Stettner on November 19th, 2020:
Rebuild and enlargement of the original W.W. Kimball organ.
