Notes
This organ is essentially a rebuild of a rebuild.  The Balcom & Vaughan work consisted of a new Great principal chorus (8,4,2,III), plus other new pipes and new chests. The console is the 1928 Guenther console reworked by Balcom and Vaughan.

Stops marked with an asterisk (*) above indicate pipework from the church's original E. & G.G. Hook & Hastings, Opus 653, 1872.  Stops marked with a plus symbol (+) are retained from the Guenther rebuild. 

-The Great 8' Gedeckt is the original H&H Swell 8' Stopped Diapason.
-The Great 4' Harmonic Flute is the original H&H Swell 4' Harmonic Flute.
-The Swell 8' Flute is the original H&H Swell 16' Bourdon.
-The Swell 4' Geigen Octave is from the original H&H Swell 8' Violin Diapason.
-The Pedal 16' Bourdon is the original H&H Pedal Bourdon.
-The Guenther Swell 8' Salicional is marked Gamba
-The Guenther Swell 8' Voix Celeste is marked V cello.
-The Swell 8' Trumpet was added in 1975 by Portland organ builder Rene Marceau, and replaced the retained Guenther 8' Oboe.

The organ also has a Cymbelstern operated by a toggle switch.  In the center position it is off. In the left position it plays fast, and in the right position is plays slowly.
