DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Pheonix organs (https://phoenixorgans.com/installations/installation-archives/196) has indicated that this instrument was in need of major repairs, and that they installed one of their electronic instruments with speakers in the pipe chambers. This casts doubt as to whether the instrument is still playable, though it is still probably at least partially extant.
