last attempt to find lost churchbell music at Plainview ny church

the church that's located on the boarderline of Hicksville and Plainview, is now the Yale Korean church. It's on the boarder line of where Hicksville ends and Plainview begins.I had gone there receintly last Sunday to attend their annual summer Bazzar. It's not much, as they mostly sell jewelry, toys, some crafts, and alot of imported foods.
I would've taken the bus, as it was a hot day, but I missed the bus and had to walk there. It wasn't far as it was only a 25 minute walk.
       The way it was is that in the mid-late 1990's, I heard this beautiful churchbell music coming from the large gray megaphones mounted ontop of the roof of the church. It was soo beautiful, that I had decided to go there and record the bells as they played at 11:45 a.m. It was great and sounded unlike any other natural churchbell music, as whenever a certain song rang, I stated to think of this cave ontop of a huge snow mountain, and on the inside the sunlight shone through revealing two deer living in there mother and son.  I could tell that some of the music was rung on various mini chime bars and amplified along with the other sythesized bells to the megaphones. It was perfect. I've gone to that church for a Sunday worship service, as my stepdad's mom had sung in their choir, and they had a nice candle lit Christmas service.  In the early 2000's, the church had fell through some rough financial times, and had to sell the property and church. The church had been bought out and changed to Yale Korean. All the original things from the church were taken down, and the churchbells were silenced which made me feel sad.
The only few things I remember, was that the churchbell system was located in a booth, as I saw it next to where I was sitting. the device
This is all I remember seeing upon looking at this device. I'm not sure if it's even a Sanyo. The only thing left behind was a Yamaha digital organ. I do remember seeing a plaque hanging on the wall commemerating the guy who donated this carillon to the church, but that was taken down as well. The only thing is that maybe there is someone who used to work at this church, before being changed to Yale Korean that may be able to clue me in on what the electronic churchbell playing device was. Then I can search for it on the internet and get some sound samples to download.
