Database Manager on March 24th, 2006:
Updated through online information from Scott Lamlein. -- Console Refurbished in 2000 by Messrs. Czelusniak et Dugal, Inc., Northampton, MA: Orginal Skinner look and feel retained by use of original parts (drawknobs, pistons, toe studs/levers, key coverings), SSL multisystem combination action and relay, with Harris drawknob motors. Some stop names were changed to better reflect the Skinner heritage during the 2000 console renovation.
