Johnson Style 163 Band Organ in Salem, Oregon
By Jim Kenney

With the Johnson 163 organ being so loud, perhaps they could trade
it for a smaller organ.  I had suggested that they add leaded windows
on the front like the Wurlitzer Monster.

When I ran the Wurlitzer 164 for Paul Torin at fairs, etc., my ears
would ring the next day because I was too stupid to stay at a safe
distance, and the same holds true now when I go out to see and hear
the same organ at Don Neilson's house.
