Hello, I've been back from my trip to Wildwood, New Jersey, and after
doing my research I thought it was about time to make a update on
the organs of the Randy Senna collection in his Retro Arcade on the
Wildwood Boardwalk.

You heard that right! "Organs", plural! A day or two after my first
post I went back to the arcade and was met by a very realistic band
organ sound but no organ was visible! I asked Randy and he said it
is in a back room and I was not allowed to see it. From what I could
hear while walking by, it sounds like it holds a single rank of
flutes with bells and drums.

On my last day there I finally had the courage to ask to hear the
Wurlitzer. To my disappointment the organ was out of order due to
the aforementioned air leak (see my post in 210809 MMDdigest) so no
recordings for now. I am following his Facebook in case he decides
to post it again.

Back on the topic of the second band organ. Supposedly it is newer
then the Wurlitzer, but Randy did not know the manufacturer of the
organ. I found a video on YouTube showing a band organ that sounds
the same as the one I heard, and is playing the exact same roll,
so it's probably the one I wasn't allowed to see.

Comments suggest that it's a Stinsion replica of a Wurlitzer Caliola,
but it definitely had drums when I heard the organ. Here is the link:
