Controlling the Million Dollar Wurlitzer Organ
By Damon Atchison

I was just thinking how difficult it would be to run the Million Dollar
Wurlitzer Theater Organ from air signals.  This organ is extremely
massive and to have a little vacuum signal control what I am sure is
50-plus instruments must be impossible.  Was it electrically controlled?
The organ was built in the early 20's for a movie theater and has almost
every imaginable instrument you could want.
