  • "Manufacturing history" is right. What other company - in house - makes their own amplifiers, test equipment - even the screws?!

  • As a native of North Tonawanda, while traveling, I repeatedly ask people if they know what a Wurlitzer is. Most have no clue... those that do, know the quality.

    I sincerely thank you for posting this. As an historian, this is invaluable.

  • I love it! I saw this in shop class wayyyy back in 1964! Sadly, there is no Tonawanda plant any more, iPods have taken over. But I remember this plant, and thinking that a place where thousands of people worked was not unusual.

  • I have seen all five parts of the documentation. It is a great piece of manufacturing history. In these moments you know what youtube is good for.
