ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
From: Dave Schutt, Nov. 1998
As many people know, George Wright was instrumental in the original
installation of this organ. Kilgen supplied a new console and relay. Fred
Wood (who was a Wurlitzer installer and came to the United States with
Robert Hope-Jones) did the installation.
The first program was held on December 8, 1939.
The original Kilgen console at Grant High School burned in 1973. Balcom
& Vaughn in Seattle built a Wurlitzer-replica console that was installed in
1975.

Moreno has been doing lots of work on it. Regulators have been recovered and
pressures restored to their original specification. The thing I noticed more
than anything else was that the organ had more bass.
