Jim Stettner on August 29th, 2020:
Updated thru online information from James R. Stettner (former Balcom and Vaughan employee). -- Two different Balcom and Vaughan opus lists include the organ for work done in 1939. Both say 'Rebuild'. This was likely the electrification. The 1960's work was refurbishing, tonal additions, and a replacement console. In reference to the note below, there are no entries for any work done in the 1950's.

Database Manager on June 3rd, 2009:
The organ was electrified by Balcom & Vaughan in the 1939. The 1965 work consisted of a new detached AGO console, some Pedal modifications, and one rank added.

Database Manager on July 2nd, 2007:
Identified through online information from David Thomas. -- Rebuilt by Don Gorman. [Manager's Note" no date for work done by Don Gorman has been received through the Update procedure. It may have been done either before or after the Balcom & Vaughan work.]
