Notes:

• Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ was declared surplus, and was removed from the Auditorium in Showalter Hall and moved to storage on the University property. It was acquired by George Perks of Spokane, Washington and installed in a studio/workshop behind his home along with a used theatre organ. Some mechanical upgrades were made to the organ, which was also cleaned and somewhat refurbished. The organ was then purchased by another couple, but never installed. They, in turn, donated it to the Pipe Organ Foundation of Mercer Island, Washington, who placed it in storage. At present (2006) it is being refurbished and will be installed at the new building presently under construction of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Issaquah, Washington. Refurbishing and installation are anticipated to be complete by the end of 2006. (Database Manager. 2006-01-09)
• Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ did not go to the Issaquah, WA. church, and is in storage. (Database Manager. 2009-11-05)
