Database Manager on September 13th, 2008:
Updated through on-line information from Andrew Sporner. -- Worked as a technician for David Skinner during the renovation and multiplex action of this instrument. Also suggested the usage of the Moeller console from a defunct auditorium instrument as 2nd console. The original chests were ventil pneumatic action. These were changed to direct electric by Dan Bogue and associates later during the rennovation that added the digital voices.

Database Manager on September 13th, 2008:
Updated through on-line information from Andrew Sporner. -- More about the history. This organ was indeed on of the last ones by Van Dinter, who was advanced in age during its completion. Unlike previous instruments this was a supply house organ that he finished (I have heard it was boughten from Tellers of Ohio).

Database Manager on May 5th, 2008:
Updated through on-line information from John Gouwens. -- Organ is also playable from a transept console which also operates some digital voices at the front. That work done by Dan Bogue (Wicks representative at the time).

Database Manager on October 30th, 2004:
Possilby last instrument by Van Dinter. Electric slider action. Pipework by Gottfried. Console reversed in 1936 by Frank Wichlac of Chicago. Altered by David W. Skinner in 1989 to 21rk. Van Dinter console in loft, & rebuilt MΓΆller console in transept.
