Database Manager on June 25, 2016:

Altered and relocated existing organ. 
 Identified by James R. Stettner,  based on information learned from a conversation with 
 Terry Hochmuth, present owner. 

On the theatreorgans.com website in July 2005, Terry Hochmuth wrote, "I 'discovered' this little gem just sitting away, unused and neglected, in an old church gymnasium. They did not even know that it was there, insisting, on contacting them, that their organ was a Moller. It wasn't until an old janitor remembered that 'there is an old organ in the gym'. It is in MINT pristine condition!! It is in storage and will be installed in a new home now being built in Truro, Massachusetts." Later, in November 2005, he wrote again, "We just finished removal of a 1930 Wurlitzer RJ11 (2/7)."
