@KawhackitaRag The Wurlitzer 153 is just that a 153. I put the pipes in that were missing and then some. I am going to duplex it as soon as I get some of the parts that are missing for the changer. The organ currently has 170 pipes. Gordy Forcier

@anglerfly you got the name wrong. It isn't owned by Bruce Miller, I happen to be the owner. Gordon Forcier.

@spotterjarvin Gladiators Farewell.

actually, the dutch street organ is a pluer organ. There is a video of it playing "Holland disco"

[anglerfly]

THe 153 is owned by Bruce miller.

I wonder if its the same bruce miller as the one who works for the great Ripleys.
