Wurlitzer 105 on YouTube
By Jack M. Conway

Hi Group, I was pleased to find my Wurlitzer 105 on YouTube at
http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=FEmbiHUbL6Y
Attachment thumbnail It has been viewed 1145 times, Wow! It was recorded at the Los Rios Southern California AMICA Band Organ Rally, May 3, 2008. This video was made before the case and façade were finished. By the time of the AMICA 2008 convention the case was repaired, the rear doors were mounted, and the façade completed with art panels. I was lucky to find an artist in Las Cruces, New Mexico, who had access to color photos of an original Wurlitzer 105. She painted the wood panels and the screen. The pneumatic and mechanical restoration were 90% complete at the time this video was made. This is an original Wurlitzer 105 serial number 4159. It was shipped to Chicago, Illinois, on April 23, 1929 on order number 900. Jack M. Conway, Los Angeles, California, USA
