If only modern-day audiences could enjoy this instead of being subjected to much commercial drivel, the world would be a better place!
Here in Toronto, a single Wurlitzer survives at Casa Loma. It once resided at Shea's Hippodrome, and was almost lost to the wrecking ball when Shea's was demolished in 1956. It was moved to Maple Leaf Gardens, where it was heard on radio broadcasts for over a decade, until preserved by the Toronto Theatre Organ Society.
