The organ uses tubular-pneumatic key action, and mechanical couplers.  The stop action is Estey's patented piano-key action. 
Shaped like piano keys and located in a small group centered above the Swell manual,
each stopkey has the name of the stop engraved on the edge facing the organist,
and each has an ebony sharp next to it.  Pressing the key latches it down, and pressing the Ebony sharp releases it. 
The organ was originally hand-pumped, and the bellows signal button still exists on the console.
