The church is closed. The congregation left in 2016 due to a number of issues with the building. The building is still standing but haven't heard anything about the organ. I assume it's still there.
The Great Gamba was never in our (Rosenberry & Myers Organbuilders) shop. When we first examined this organ the Gamba pipes had mostly collapsed and had been thrown on the organ chamber floor. At the time we unhooked the stop action. Years later some Estey Gamba pipes were donated to the church and we installed them. The bass of the Gamba played in the facade.
Updated through on-line information from Paul Opel. -- Pedal stops have tubular pneumatic action. The instrument is in very good condition; Rosenberry & Myers have restored much of it, but the Great Gamba is still in their shop pending funds. Four single-acting composition pedals, drawing full Great, retiring all but Melodia & Dulciana; drawing full Swell except oboe/bassoon, retiring all but Stopped Diapason & Aeoline. Hand pump is restored and functional. All stops are full compass; Swell strings are open to CC.
Status Note: There 1997
