Wurlitzer Photoplayer Information Sought
By Michael Roseboom

In the Bowers Encyclopedia there are two photos of a Wurlitzer YO
Photoplayer at the bottom of page 700.  This machine was used in a
theater in Chino, Calif.  Does anyone know who currently owns this
particular instrument?

 Also, on the next page is an illustration of a Wurlitzer Style L
"photoplayer."  This instrument is more closely related to a theater
organ, but uses Concert Pian-Orchestra rolls.  Is there a remote
possibility that one of these unusual "photoplayers" still exists?
Does anyone know what the instrumentation of the Style L is?
