M. P. Möller, Inc.
Hagerstown, Md. – Opus R-169 (1985) – rebuild of Op. 8888
Electro-pneumatic action
Chancel: 3 manual drawknob console, 69 stops, 87 ranks
Gallery: 2 manual rocker tab console, 34 stops, 15 ranks
Total: 103 stops, 102 ranks

In 1985, the Möller company was contracted to rebuild and tonally revise their 1956 instrument (Op. 8888). Solid state switching and relays were installed, and a new console was provided within the old shell. The 1956 Antiphonal organ was replaced by an encased Gallery organ that included a separate two-manual rocker tab console, and a horizontal reed across the top of the case.

In 2001, the Gallery organ was sold through the Organ Clearing House and moved to All Saints Church in River Ridge, Louisiana. In 2005, the Chancel organ was sold, also through the Organ Clearing House, and moved to First Baptist Church in Manhattan where it was rebuilt and installed by Meloni & Farrier.
