The console from Opus 959 is owned by Lonnie Roach in Glencoe, Minnesota. It was thought to have burned years ago.
He bought it somewhere between 20 and 25 years ago from a man in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area who had a large quantity of organ parts. It was painted, and when he was removing the paint, he found the elaborate design underneath from years earlier, as shown with Eddie Dunstedter on page 9 of the October/November 1980 issue of Theatre Organ. The console was thought to have been lost, probably burned, years earlier and no one knew that it still existed. The article in which this photo appeared was actually about a woman named Eloise Rowan, and that is how it is listed in Jack Moelmann's comprehensive index. The console is controlling a hybrid theatre organ of about 15 ranks installed in his home.
