Interesting stuff. I played this organ for 36 years at the early mass on Sundays.

The Wicks organ is being replaced by Karl Wilhelm's Opus 123.

Wicks should probably restore this organ. They've been in the business for over 100 years!

No, it is electro-mechanical action.

@@OrganMediaFoundation thanks, I saw one wick's on KZitem that's is a tracker. The oldest pipe organ on the west coast is in St Paul's Episcopal Church in downtown Sacramento, its a Johnson & son Opus 503 tracker 1877. Brought out from Philadelphia in 1918, it's considered a local treasure by the organ guild. Also the building has great accoustics and some of the finest stain glass windows around.

@@califdad4....Augusta takes the OLDER trophy from Sacramento with an 1868 George Jardine & Son of New York organ in our local treasure, 19th century Catholic Church of the Most Holy Trinity downtown. The organ was built before the Civil War but could not be brought to Georgia because the Charleston and Savannah ports were closed. It's the oldest in the South, and played at every mass now by a newly hired WORLD CLASS organist from Mexico City. Do google it!

ours is oldest on the West Coast , guess you missed that , but if you reread my comment, it's there. The 3 Rd largest working pipe organ is in Los Angeles, at the First Congregational Church.
