Seek Tape Recordings of Wurlitzer 157
By Jeff Alterman, forwarded

-- Forwarded message, please reply to sender and MMD --

I wish to obtain tape recordings, if possible, of the Wurlitzer 157
band organ which plays Wurlitzer 165 rolls.  If you know where you can
locate some please contact me as soon as possible.  I'm also asking if
you know of anyone who would have information on the pipework of a
Gavioli 689 band organ or a Gavioli organ playing 87-key B.A.B. rolls?

The reason I'm asking is because a longtime employee at Rye Playland
would wish to have the information so a replica could be built of one
of those band organs that I mentioned.  The organ that is on the carou-
sel at Rye Playland is an organ with similar pipework to a Wurlitzer
165 playing Wurlitzer 165 rolls.
