Members of the congregation helped in the installation which was coordinated by Randall McCarty of Seattle. Reconditioning consisted of cleaning, refinishing the casework and keyboards, removing paint, and building a new wind supply. Facade pipes were re-painted according to the original design. The organ was relocated through the Organ Clearing House.
