Band Organ, North Tonawanda, Chattanooga Choo Choo

[birdwing98]

Great job! You had lots of courage to post videos before the tuning. I wish I had your determination to complete a project of this magnitude. The trumpets sound really nice.

This is a North tonawanda 191 Band organ Like the captain john leonard One ( Wurlitzer157 has videos of it ) same sound because of the 150 rolls.

@anglerfly

No it isn't...

[anglerfly]

@Wurlitzer157 what do you think it is...? A 188 or what!

[Kary11858]

Yes this the goldleaf galllereis roll.

[anglerfly]

Is this the goldleaf galllereis roll?

[anglerfly]

THis roll is avlible on Ebay

Very nice rendition of Chattanooga Choo Choo!! I love the views of the organ from the back to the front. The work you did on it speaks for itself.

Thanks for posting this! This song's some localness to it for me since I only live 100 miles from Chattanooga!

A 148? am I right?

[Kary11858]

This plays a 150 Wurlitzer roll.

The organ keeps getting better and better. Bill Klinger knows his "stuff" that is for sure.

I assume this uses a 125 roll?

I rebuilt a Niagara about 20 years ago--it is closer to the 146 scale with 15 Trumpets and Piccolos, and the Trombones are wood rather than brass. It was adapted to play Wurlitzer rolls by Wurlitzer.

This almost makes me want to own one--but I have enough loud furniture around here!

Good show.

[Wurlitzer157]

Thank you! I've been waiting a while for a new video of this organ!!!

[Kary11858]

I have some corner post but they look to small. Thanks for the idea.

[clemmiedoodle]

A very nice organ and a good job!

Looks like the corner posts are about all that remain to be done. A friend of mine who collects and restores organs said he used table legs, turned upside down, on one of his. It looked good.
