At least two of the original string ranks were cut off to make upperwork in 1980.  Relay is Peterson Diode Matrix.  Console stop action units were replaced in the 1990's with new OSI units (no longer sold).  Combination action is by setterboard in the console.  Blower replaced (Zephyr) in 2014.  Previous blower was too small and overheated.  Facade and pedal Violoncello toes are collapsed so pipes barely speak.
