The instrument was rebuilt again in 1968 by Guy Dubé, [ed.: Jean-Guy; Dubay Organ Co.] formerly of Casavant. New direct-electric pipe valve action replaced the troublesome pitman system and a new console was installed. The Antiphonal division was installed in the gallery in 1981, adding a fourth manual. This new division necessitated the installation of a 4-manual console. The church found a 1947 Moller in Buffalo, New York. This Antiphonal division is the old Swell division from a 1923 Casavant from St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Toronto, which was torn down. The façade for this division uses pipes from the 1917 Casavant built for Christ Church Deer Park in Toronto.
In 2005, Dodington & Dodington refurbished and installed a 1974, 4-manual Casavant console purchased from Peace Memorial Presbyterian Church in Clearwater, Florida, with new solid state control systems custom manufactured by Artisan Classic Organ of Markham, Ontario. This console has record and playback, transposer for use with early instruments, and numerous other features which appeal to the sophisticated player demands of today's organist. There are 254 memory levels for preset combinations. The console cabinet is mahogany matching the existing wood paneling of the Karn façade. The manual natural key covering is ivory and the console is movable for improved venue flexibility.
