Large Band Organ at Victorian Palace
By Mike Kitner

The large Wurlitzer band organ with brass horns that Dave Brown saw at
Jasper Sanfilippo's Victorian Palace is a style 180.  According to
Bower's Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical instruments there were only
5 of these organs built.  We know of three in existence today. Jasper's
is the earliest one and is the only one still playing the original
180 music rolls.  These are about 14" wide and the trackerbar has
123 ducts.
