"Tellers Organ Co. of Erie, PA, electrified the original tracker action [of the Topliff instrument]; and in the mid-1960's the pipe organ was relocated by Bryant G. Parsons & Son, Inc. to the new church building. All of the pipework was concealed in the two chambers to the right and left of the altar. Due to an unfortunate dry environment, the original chests developed extensive cracks and began to fail." Source = an undated "Fairport United Methodist Church Pipe Organ Specifications" document.
