Bob, Great pictures. That’s the one. Where were the pictures taken? The wording in my first posting (Feb. 2005) probably added to your confusion. OSI had altered the console by adding more manual pistons, additional stops, stop action magnets, new name board, and the list goes on. So, it was no longer “original”. Hope this clears things up.
Bob, Just to clarify a couple of things, the organ was purchased by Organ Supply Industries, Inc. during the time I was president of the company. Having retired from OSI in 2006, the organ remains in OSI’s possession. When purchased, the organ was essentially complete including its original console. Work on the restoration was halted several years before I retired. As to its future, it is uncertain what plans OSI might have. Since the pedigree is intact, it would be sad to see it broken up for parts. Hope this helps.
