Wurlitzer 165 and 157 at Coney Island, Ohio
By Mikey Mills

I read many times on the Carousel News and Trader web site how
"Kings Island Amusement Park" had a Wurlitzer 165 shipped on April 15,
1925, in Cincinnati, Ohio.  I am certain Kings Island was established
in 1972, but did Coney Island park in Cincinnati, Ohio, have these?

According to the article, the Wurlitzer 165 was given in trade in 1953
for exchange of a rebuild on their Wurlitzer 157.  If Coney Island in
Ohio had a Wurlitzer 157, where did the Kings Island 157 from the Paul
Eakins Collection come in place?  Where is Coney Island's organ today?

During the credits at the end of a VHS tape I have of Coney Island,
Ohio, a recording of a 157 is played.  Was that recorded from the
Coney Island 157 or from Paul Eakin's 157?

If anyone has an answer to these questions, please post a response
or send me an email at mikeymillsjr@yahoo.com.geentroep [delete

Thanks,
Mikey Mills
