Database Manager on May 7th, 2018:

From the 1976 OHS Convention Handbook. -- There are 14 Open Diapason pipes displayed in the case; the remaining case pipes are voiced but not used. The reservoir has been replaced with a modern regulator. Although the organ shows signs of having been moved and restructured, its early history is unknown. The Swell pedal is of the balanced type. An unusual feature is the use of commas, rather than periods, to denote abbreviations on the drawknobs.
