Electric Motor for Band Organ
By Dale F. Rowe

Dana, Greetings from The Bronx. Regarding your list of electric motors
used in the various Wurlitzer band organs [210324 MMD], you listed the
'Style 125' as being the smallest of the Wurlitzer Band Organs.

Not so; I refer you to page 940 of the Bowers Encyclopedia. At the
very bottom of the page is shown Wurlitzer's 'Style 50', where it is 
listed as a 'Kiddie Band Organ' or 'Tom Thumb Band Organ', using the
44-note Wurlitzer Pianino nickelodeon roll (although there are 52
holes on the tracker bar, the rest being for controls).

Hope you are staying safe and healthy!
