DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was the transplanting with minimal changes by Balcom and Vaughan of the 1921 Kimball, Opus 6613 originally built for the [then] Paramount Theatre (later, Guild 45th). The organ had been a 2/7 and was enlarged to 2/9 by Kimball in 1924. The pipes were installed in a chamber on the left side of the rear gallery. The information here is included in the Encylcopedia of the American Theatre Organ, details were in the Balcom and Vaughan files, and I examined the extant, altered organ.
