Stop knobs to Bells/Chimes were originally wired to a Schulmerich Chime System.

At this writing (Feb. 2008), the Central Presbyterian congregation has for all intents and purposes folded as a congregation (thanks to an extremely disagreeable pastor and block of Session members who always voted with him, and a disinterested local Presbytery, but that's a LONG story... email me for details if interested), and has sold the campus of buildings that includes the main sanctuary that houses this organ.  The Moller organ did not convey with the purchase and remains the property of the Central congregation, but it is being listed for sale and eventually will be removed from the building.
