Database Manager on August 11th, 2019:
(Updated by James R. Stettner) According to both the Balcom and Vaughan opus lists and the PSTOS website - the organ was installed in 1941, not 1932 as originally cited. The PSTOS website states, "In 1941, Balcom and Vaughan moved the organ without changes to Knapp's Mortuary in Vancouver WA." The likely changes made - if indeed any - would have been the removal of most or all of the toy counter components. In 1966, the organ was relocated to the Salem, Oregon residence of Clayton A. and Rick Parks.

Database Manager on January 8th, 2019:
This is a new home for an organ that was altered when it was moved from another location. <br>Identified by Eric Schmiedeberg, listing conversations with this person as the source of the information: James Fuller--Hamilton, Mylan, Knapp and Gunderson Mortuary--Vancouver, Washington.<br>
