Value of Wurlitzer Theatre Organ
By Charles Dyer

Hello,

I have recently purchased a property that has an old pipe organ and
wish to find out the value because I want to sell it.  The only
knowledge I have is what the son of the deceased owner has told me.

He has stated the following to me.  "The main part of the organ is a
rank 5 manual Mighty Wurlitzer Theater Pipe Organ.  The ranks include
Tibia, Vox, Trumpet, Flute, and memory fails on the fifth rank.  There
is a borden rank for the pedals.  This part of the organ came from the
Logan Theater in Logan Ohio.  ...  he continues his father also acquired
a glockenspiel and an xylophone from Robert Morton Pipe Organ, a "toy
counter" (various sound effects actuated by pedal buttons) from the
McVicors Theater in Chicago, and a set of chimes, and bordon pipes for
pedals from a local Tennessee theater."

The organ is in a fair state of repair.  Could you please direct me to
how I could find someone that might be interested in this organ. I am
sending this email in hopes that someone might have a use for this rare
instrument.

Thank you, Charles Dyer   charlesdyer@hotmail.com
