DETAILS
This entry represents the electrification of the original windchests with new E-P primaries. From the esteyorgan.com website, "In 1958, William F. Patchell, organ builder, of Malden, MA, rebuilt the instrument, replacing the tubular-pneumatic action with electro-pneumatic primaries, and also replaced the original console with its current 3 manual Kimball stoptab console. Patchell also made other changes for ease of service."
