Notes

Roman Lizak on December 05, 2021:

This was not a total rebuild of the present Austin instrument. This was the addition of a new 4 Manual console along with a 32 note Pedal relay with 14 individual 32 note switches.
The work was ordered by W. A. Brummer of Granite City, Illinois who was a representative of Möller at the time.

Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield.  -- Not sure if this was a console-only job or a rebuild by Möller.
