Quite a number of years ago, there was an ad in "The Diapason" for the Aeolian organ at the old Gustav Pabst estate outside of Oconomawoc (sp?) Wisconsin. I went up there and viewed the organ and even took a few pictures. Was in very fine original condition but needed work - releathering?, etc. and was disconnected to I couldn't play it. Was a 2 manual, maybe 27 ranks and had an additional separate roll player in cabinet. Does anyone know if this was ever purchased and moved to another location or still may be there and hopefully restored? I believe the estate was left to some branch of the catholic church who no longer wanted the organ or needed to sell it for $$$ to keep the furnace running. The organ is listed in Rollin Smith's book as opus #1660, ca. 1927/8
Thanks
