Why does the belguim band organ not have the fancy top like it does now?

[kazombie]

@anglerfly The original owner burned the top and sides to keep warm during the prohition-depression era. The ones now are either from another organ or reproduced ones.

@kazombie How did pau leakins attach it?

[kazombie]

@anglerfly Very carefully!!!!

The second song is "Things go better ----with Coca Cola" Then "Give my regards to Broadway" which was featured in another Coke ad---with different words. Paul also did a promotion for TUMS---when they changed from all white--- to various colored TUMS. I forget the theme song or words. (About 1962-63)

What are those pipes on the bottom called?

[kazombie]

It's a VERY early organ.....I may have a number written down somewhere.
