This is a heavily modified Wurlitzer 180 band organ. There is no facade, which is fine for me since Wurlitzer just ripped off the facade design from an earlier Gavioli organ anyway! This organ won't be too hard to tune, but in terms of restoration and what to do with it, it's kind of a mess. Given that it left the factory as a custom instrument with a keyboard(!), it may be hard to return it to its original configuration; it differs from the other two 180's known to exist.
Legend has it that this machine was orginally once at Coney Island...back in the day

This is too funny, I work in Nevada City in the summer, who knew I'd find the music hall on youtube!
