Updated through online information from Scot Huntington. <br>In 2014 the organ was listed for sale on Ebay and sold to an organbuilder in Illinois. The ultimate fate of the organ in 2016 is unknown. This organ possessed the only extant reed (Trumpet) from the workshop of Alvinza Andrews, (Henry T. Levi, pipemaker).

Updated through online information from Scot Huntington. -- Relocated to the East Aurora in 1972 by the Organ Clearing House after its original home in the gallery of the Universalist Church in Perry, NY had closed and was demolished. The Unitarian church in East Aurora was formerly a private 19th-century residence which had been repurposed as a church. The original facade was left behind, but the remainder of case was moved to East Aurora and a primitively-made screen was installed in place of the original facade and dummy pipes. The Aurora church closed in 2001, and the organ was relocated by the OCH to the workshop of Dana Hull, Ann Arbor, MI, who began restorative repairs for another church in Ann Arbor upon the advice of consultant Marilyn Mason. The Ann Arbor church eventually halted the project for lack of interest and funds, abandoning any plans to install the organ in the future. The organ has remained in storage since 2001, and was relocated to a storage facility near Millersville, PA in 2010, and is for sale to a qualified buyer willing to provide a full restoration without alteration, according to the revised OHS Guidelines for Conservation.
