2023-02-27 - "The theater organ came to the Marlin theater last year, after renovation by the Texas Museum of Theatre and Broadcast in McGregor, which received it in 2017. The museum lacked the space for the organ’s pipes, bellows and blower units, which were not in the best of shape after two floods and years in storage, so it was converted into a digital organ in its restoration. During its lifetime in Texas, the Robert Morton organ saw stints at the Old Mill Theatre and the Rialto Theater in the 1920s and ‘30s in Dallas, a brief interlude at an Austin funeral home and many years in storage before its last active phase at Dallas’ Lakewood Theatre in the 1980s and early 1990s." -- *Waco Tribune-Herald*, 22 October 2022, Carl Hoover. -Paul R.

2023-02-27 - The theatre retains the Robert Morton console, altered, playing only an electronic substitute. -Paul R. Marchesano
