- In 1982 the company Australian Pipe Organs built a new mechanical organ for the Coburg Baptist Church, 298 Sydney Road, in Melbourne. They used parts and pipes of two demolished organs. Those organs were built by Fincham & Sons in 1922 for the East Malvern Methodist Church (Peace Memorial Methodist Church) and the previous organ of the Coburg Church, built by Stephen Taylor in 1935. The Taylor organ was rebuilt by Davis & Laurie in 1962, but all of the original pipework remained in use.
- The organ was relocated to Saint Patrick's Church in Albury in 2002 by Laurie Pipe Organs. The installed it behind a prospect with beautifully decorated prospect pipes from the previous organ of this church, built by Fincham & Hobday in 1892. The company Wakeley Pipe Organs worked on the organ in 2003. The revoiced a lot of the pipework, and modified some of the construction to get the sound better. The prospect pipes are not speaking, but there are plans to re-utilise them as a second Open Diapason.
