Notes

2019-08-07 - The Wurlitzer was originally built for the Liberty Theatre in North Bend, Oregon as a 2-manual, 8-rank Style F. For the Show Box installation, Balcom and Vaughan modified the console to be 3-manuals. After the instrument served at the Show Box from 1943 to 1960 it was sold to Don French of south Seattle for his residence. In 1970 it was sold to Brian Ingolsby who installed it in Steve's Gay 90's Restaurant in Tacoma along with the Style 260 Wurlitzer console opus #935 from the State Theatre in Cleveland Ohio which Don French had purchased in1969. Brian Ingolby then sold the modified opus 776 Liberty Theatre console to Terry Hochmuth who restored it to 2-manuals. -Database Manager
