2018-06-28 - Organ combines 3/17 Wurlitzer (1927, Opus 1731) from the United Artists Theatre in Los Angeles, and nine ranks from a Robert Morton organ that had been in a radio station. Following Buddy Cole's death in November 1964, the organ was "shipped East"; it was later moved to the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham, England, and expanded to 36 ranks. -Database Manager
