  • In 1700 Johan Agerwall built an organ with six stops and without a pedal board for Sankt Lars Kyrka in Linköping. The instrument was revised in 1741 by Jonas Wistenius. He replaced the Regal 8' with a Qvintadena 8' and the Superoctaw 1' with a Spetz Fleut 2'. The organ was sold in 1767 and transferred to Vinnerstads Kyrka.
  • Per August Wassin bought the organ in 1870 and donated it to Folkströms Kapell. It was installed here by Anders Peter Kullbom. He removed the short octave, but this causes the keyboard to start on E. A pulldown pedal was added, equipped with two stops with only four pipes (C, C sharp, D and D sharp). It is possible that Kullbom replaced the Kvint 1 1/3' and Spetz Fleut 2' with a Fleutamor 4' and Fugara 4'. But this could also have been done a few years later.
  • In 1953 the organ was renovated by the firm Bröderna Moberg. Major maintenance was carried out in 1984 by Magnussons Orgelbyggeri.
