Database Manager on March 19, 2007:

Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- This was the electrification of the existing 1912 Austin. The original pipes, chests, and console were all retained. One new principal rank was added to the Pedal playable at 8-4-2 pitches. The original console was destroyed when a cross suspended over it fell in 1981, and impaled the console.
