This entry describes alterations to an existing organ.
Identified by T. Daniel Hancock, using information found in an un-named publication.
-- Austin provided a new electro-pneumatic detached console for the 1912 tubular pneumatic, modifying the action as required. In addition, some minor channges were made to specification nomenclature, and some tops were extended, added, or duplexed. The couplers, combination action, and accessories were also revised. The organ remained in this state, serving much more reliably, until it burned along with the wooden tabernacle in 1937.
