A Moller proposal in the church files describes the changes made in the 1973
rebuild, done at a total cost of $45,260:

Great: Open Diapason replaced
     Harmonic Flute extended to 8'
     Mixture III replaced Viola da Gamba
     Super Octave added
     Oboe moved from 8' to 4' with 12 new pipes
     
Swell: Principal replaced Violina
       Nazard replaced Aeoline
       Oboe moved from 8' to 4' with 12 new pipes 
 
Choir: unchanged

The church has also a set of Deagan Tower Chimes, and preserves an original
Deagan song book. 
An interesting document in the files is a packing list from the 1973 rebuild,
reading: "Contents: One (1) M.P. Moller, Inc. Pipe Organ".
