Hi Andrew, I’m glad the info was of some help. We (especially our organist) would love to have you visit. We got the estimate for the repairs to the pipes last week, and it wasn’t as costly as we’d feared it may be so the repairs have been approved. I’m not sure whether they will be done before November, but it will be good to have the organ up and playing again. I’m putting our website and Google Plus page here, so you will have more info on where to find us and how to contact us: napavalleybiblechapel.com

Hope to see you in November!

Hi Andrew, You may want to check the Napa Seventh Day Adventist Church. This article from their 140th anniversary seems to be saying the church organ in their current building is from the former downtown Napa Fox theater: http://napavalleyregister.com/news/local/weekend-festivities-to-honor-adventists-years-in-napa/article_3966ae06-35cd-11e3-841f-001a4bcf887a.html
But in a video showing their organ, it appears to have 3 manuals? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFHWb3Kkwqg
I attend Valley Bible Chapel, which worships in the Seventh Day Adventist church’s original building downtown. We do have a Leathurby-Smith two-manual organ, but it sounds like from the Seventh Day Adventist church’s website history page that the organ in our building was bought new if I’m interpreting it correctly: http://www.napasdachurch.com/article/228/about-us/history
If there is a chance the organ we have is the one you are looking for, I can provide more info. Unfortunately, the pipes were damaged in the Napa quake on Aug. 24, 2014, so it is not functioning right now.
