- Het grote orgel in het auditorium van de University of North Texas in Denton is gebouwd als opus 7676 door de Möller Company. Het verving een kleiner Möller-orgel uit 1924.
- In 2021 kon men een nieuwe console verwerven, gebouwd door Möller in 1931 voor een vierklaviers orgel in het Civic Center, Philadelphia. Van dit orgel, opus 5819 van Möller, werden naast de console ook zeventien registers overgenomen. Dit materiaal zal worden gebruikt voor een renovatie en uitbreiding van het orgel in 2021-2022 door Redman Pipe Organs.
