Bond Pipe Organs, Inc., of Portland was selected to restore, rebuild, and make additions to the organ on June 11, 1984, including repainting of the façade pipes. The project was completed on August 31, 1985. This initial rebuilding of the instrument was made possible with a generous donation given by the W. W. Knight family, in loving memory of their father.

The instrument has two-manuals and pedal with a specification of 12 stops and 15 ranks. Even though the wind source is electrified, it is still possible to manually inflate the bellows. This has had to be done on occasion when electricity failed. The organist noticed a marked change in the wind pressure reliability, as the “bellows boy” often wore out quickly.

In 2001, Frans W. M. Bosman and Associates were selected to make some additions to the organ. About the same time someone stole the organ bench. The Bosman company re-created the bench in the same style as the original. Service of the instrument continues under the Bosman company.
