We got into the Garden looking for the organ in 1970. The interior was a very plain box with (I think) murals on the walls. The stage was filled with junk and no console was in view. A small organ chamber contained Barton chests and 4 or 5 ranks of pipes including a Bartolina metal tibia. The other chamber had early Barton electric percussions. I suspect the console was an early upright piano with a roll player, the whole thing being one step removed from a classic pit photoplayer. Sadly, I did not bring my camera that day.
