Updated through online information from G. Mark Caldwell.
The Positiv division was placed in a room on the far left side of the sanctuary in the 1960s. In c. 1995, the sanctuary was renovated, and its curator was asked to return the Positiv to its original cantilevered position in front of the organ gallery in the front of the room.
