Asbury Park undoubtedly suffered the same fate...

Excerpt:

"...Unfortunately, due to lack of planning and oversight and the 
carelessness of workmen during the renovation of the Boardwalk Hall, 
much damage has been done to the organ. Pipes were removed, bent, 
and stepped on. Windlines to various pipe chambers were cut, with no 
effort to identify the lines nor any plans to re-route or repair 
them. The relay for the left stage chamber was cut out without 
regard to its restoration, and various switching and control cables 
were cut. Also, cement dust has entered the switching contacts, 
magnets and the organ pipes themselves. All this has left the entire 
organ damaged and the Right Stage chamber, which was 98% operational 
in 1998, is now disabled. The relay of the Ballroom Organ was also 
removed in a careless way, which means both organs are unplayable.
