My Mechanical Music Collection

Here is my small Mechanical Musical Instrument collection. First playing is "Hot Lips Hoolihan", my beautiful Wurlitzer 104 Band Organ. Also shown in a very rare Wurlitzer 145B Duplex Band Organn. The large organ shown is "Madam Laura" a one of a kind 1890's French Gavioli Fairground Organ. "Sara Jane" is a very rare cromed brass Wurlitzer 148 Band Organ. This one also played at Disneyworld. Also shown is an orginal Tangley Calliaphone, which is also called a Calliope. "Hotlips", Sara Jane" and "Madam Laura" had previously been owned by my grandfather, Paul Eakins, and I am very thrilled to have brought them back home where they belong.

Kings Island still has the157. The Gavioli needs some new springs, then I can work on her.

@Wurlitzer157 you still didnt fix it

[wurlitzer165]

Oh, now I understand it. So, wurlitzer157 is fixing it, not the people. Or, am I wrong?

[Wurlitzer157]

@wurlitzer165

I never said they would fix it, what I meant is that WE have to fix it for them.

I really want that 157!

[Wurlitzer157]

@kazombie

Hey, that 157 is mine!

(grabs it away and hides it)

Nice, Chris...does the 145 play?

[CAfiferdrummer]

The tune is Music Box Dancer, isn't it?

[wurlitzer165]

Oh, the King's Island Wurlitzer 157 is broken right now. I don't know if they are going to fix it. I heard from a youtube user wurlitzer157 that they are going to fix it, but I'm not sure.
