Database Manager on November 20, 2005:

Identified through online information from James R. Stettner.  -- Moving, electrification, and re-installation of existing ca. 1908 W.W. Kimball organ from old church on Broadway to new edifice. Electrified primaries and ventil stop actions. Installed Swell behind Great in a deep chamber on the right side of the chancel with poor tonal egress. New Reisner console. One tonal change by Harold Curryer of Spokane: original Swell 8' Oboe replaced from TC up with a used Moller 8' Trumpet. Original Oboe pipes under regulator. In 1998, Meadway & Stettner de-piped the organ and cleaned/repaired alll the pipes, releathered stoppers, made misc. repairs, and installed two new sets of shutters added to make entire organ expressive and improve tonal egress. Chests and ventil stop actions still need complete restoration.
