Updated through online information from Doug Ulwick.  -- The only apparent upgrade to this instrument is the electric blower which is located on the same level in an anteroom to the left of the console. The lever to manually pump the organ still remains. There is a full size door to access the area behind the console for tuning and maintenance located in an anteroom to the right of the console, and a small access door in the face of the case to the lower right hand side of the console.
