For the record, had I bothered to turn a couple hundred pages back,
I would have found the transplanted Bergstrom tracker organ that went
into the Carmel Mission, was installed in 1949 not the 1930s as I said.
The instrument was installed by veteran Bay Area organ service man Mr.
Gordon Martin. Further, the tracker was replaced with a Conn plug-in
and not Hammond. I have no idea what dump the Bergstrom tracker was
hauled to.
