Boston, Mass. – Opus 600-A (1940)
Electro-pneumatic action

This organ was originally built by the Skinner Organ Company of Boston, as their Op. 600 of 1926. The two-manual organ had a player attachment and was installed in the offices of the Architects Sample Corporation at 101 Park Avenue in Manhattan. In 1940, the organ was moved by Aeolian-Skinner (as Op. 600-A) to Immanuel Union Church, West New Brighton, Staten Island. Aeolian-Skinner added the two prepared-for stops: an 8' Trumpet (instead of the prepared-for Cornopean) and Chimes.
