Database Manager on July 8th, 2013:
Organ relocated without any change. Identified by James R. Stettner, using information from this web site: http://www.pstos.org/instruments/wa/seattle/icearena-rink.htm. -- According to the Puget Sound Theatre Organ Society website, "... [This] was the three-manual Aeolian from the Rhodes Department Store. When the Rhodes store closed in the late 1960's, the organ was given to the City of Seattle. Glenn White, Chief Sound Engineer for Seattle Center, together with his crew, removed the organ and re-installed it in 1967 in the remodeled Arena above the South stage area. According to Glenn White, 'we had no budget to restore the organ, but we did manage to keep it in fairly good tune. This was never much of an organ, and nobody really had any interest in using it. Later on, the City sold it, but I never found out where it went. It was a player Aeolian, and it had a whole bunch of player rolls with it which we saved in a secure place under the new seating area on the East side.' Mr. White's assessment of this instrument has been confirmed by others. According to some, it was lost in the room and could barely be heard. The instrument was eventually sold by the City, possibly to someone in Vancouver B.C. Current status is unknown."
