Bergstrom Pipe Organ Company
By Tom DeLay

> The famed Carmel Mission founded in the 1790s by Father Sierra had
> a transplanted 2-manual Bergstrom organ (from Lebanon Presbyterian,
> S.F.) that was scrapped for a Hammond in the 1930s.

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.
