Band Organ at Six Flags Park in Agawam, MA
By Bill Luca

I'm more concerned about the Wurlitzer 146B band organ that sits in
the center of the park's magnificent Mangels-Illions carousel.  To my
knowledge, it hasn't operated in years.

This instrument saw use many years ago on an Illions Supreme Carousel
located at Coney Island, NY.  It later appeared during the 1970s on the
Looff ride which was operated at Salem Willows Park, MA.  Then it was
sold to Riverside Park in Agawam, MA, which was acquired by Six Flags.
