Database Manager on October 11th, 2015:

Updated through online information from Sean Price. -- Russell & Company of Chester, Vermont replaced the original Austin console with a new state-of-the-art E.M. Skinner replica console. The combination action/piston sequencer is controlled by a Peterson ICS-4000.

In addition, existing stops that were previously unplayable have now been fully restored to their original working state. Russell & Company also installed a brass Trompette en Chamade in the back of the church below the existing Antiphonal organ.

The entire organ was rewired with wiring that is up to code.
