Database Manager on November 16th, 2008:
Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is freestanding and encased in the rear gallery. The facade is 3-sectional with 17 pipes arranged: 5-7-5. The Swell registers are short-compass (39 pipes) with only a single, unexpressive 17-note 8' St. Diap. Bass. The Pedal 16' Sub Bass is 13 pipes. The pedalboard is 17-notes. The Swell expression is hitch-down and stops are via drawknobs. The organ was substantially revised by Andover in 1967 as their R-99. Source: extant, altered organ; Andover files.
