Notes

2017-07-01 - Information from <i>The Wurlitzer Pipe Organ - An Illustrated History</i>by David L. Junchen (comp./ed. Jeff Weiler) (The American Theatre Organ Society: 2005)<br> Wurlitzer "Style 230"<br> Factory date: December 29, 1928<br> Built for the Stuart Theatre, Lincoln, Nebraska, but apparently not installed there; one source shows that it was repossessed. In July 1929, the Opus 2011 was installed in the Paramount Theatre, Springfield, Massachusetts, where it is extant but in need of restoration. -Database Manager
