Notes: The organ was virtually unusable by the early 1970s. It was sold to Thomas R. Thomas in 1997 and installed in his West Palm Beach home in 1998. The organ was sold to St. Francis of Assisi R. C. Church, Wichita, Kansas, and installed there in 2004; some tonal revisions were made by John Hendriksen, and new pipework made by Thomas Anderson.
