<DIV>Hello all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Some of you are aware, (most probably not), that I've been restoring a
Wurlitzer carousel organ for the last several years. To say it was a train
wreck would be an understatement. Ultimately I ended up rebuilding the
entire cabinet, and all new veneer, lots of fabrication of missing or
unsalvageable parts, close to 150 SqFt of organ leathers, lots of replating, the
list is far too comprehensive to list. Needless to say it was a colossal
project. I've rebuilt my share of music machines but never one that was in
such poor condition. Nevertheless it is an exceptionally special machine
with a very special history. There was no ethical option but to return it
to <U>exact</U> factory condition.</DIV>

<DIV>This organ was shipped new in April of 1925 to Norumbega Park in Newton,
MA. Norumbega was a very historically significant amusement park
that closed forever in 1963. To learn more a historical society for
the park has established a web page here: </SPAN><A
