Wurlitzer 180's are a very interesting topic!  There were five 180's
built, and three-and-a-'half' exist.  The three existing models have
already been talked about but the two others are also interesting.
One of the two, #3765, was lost in fire and not much else is known
about that one, as it's been gone for quite a long time.  But #3612
is the one I'm talking about; this band organ survived -- that is,
until it got sold into a hoard.

According to Tim Trager, this was one of the big hoards, and there was
also a model 12 Mandolin PianOrchestra in there.  What happened to both
of these, though, was they were split up for parts.  Tim has the roll
frame which _is_ in fact a 180 frame, making two 180's confirmed to
have kept the 180 frames.  Rolls were also found in that hoard, which
survived and were copied to make up more of the 180 music repertoire.

I can only imagine where the rest of the 180 is, which is why I call it
a 'half' -- it's technically not gone, but it's not intact.  I think of
it as a split up carousel: if all of the owners of the parts could come
together to reunite the parts, it would be complete, and since this is
the only other 180 that 'sort of' exists, there's no question to what
180 a part belongs to!

The PianOrchestra is another story, there were so many PianOrchestras
made that one part would be nearly impossible to pinpoint the exact model.
But to stay on the topic of 180's, I can say that pieces of this
instrument are somewhere.  When a park in Toronto closed, people picked
bits and pieces off of the 165 (I'm straying off topic again, aren't
I?) and 'bits and pieces' have showed up.

The late Capt. John Lenard recalled this organ, and after the park
closed, he found a tracker bar upon entering the ride, although the 165
was pretty much an empty shell.

There was also a Bruder converted by Wurlitzer to play Style 180 rolls.
Someone posted somewhere a picture of it from it's original location
(in the 1940's or 50's), but even though it's not a 180, it could still
exist, and furthermore, it could have some original rolls!
