Database Manager on December 23rd, 2008:
Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was the transplanting with minimal changes by Balcom and Vaughan of the 1921 Kimball, Opus 6613 originally built for the [then] Paramount Theatre (later, Guild 45th). The organ had been a 2/7 and was enlarged to 2/9 by Kimball in 1924. The pipes were installed in a chamber on the left side of the rear gallery. The information here is included in the <i>Encylcopedia of the American Theatre Organ</i>, details were in the Balcom and Vaughan files, and I examined the extant, altered organ.
