Hello!
Just
wanted to drop a line to let you know that I now have LOTS of
information
on Wurlitzer OP 539. It is now back in
its original home
(albeit
in pieces at this point), the Temple Theatre in Viroqua (incorrectly
spelled
Viroque on the Wurlitzer list). Right
now the organ consists of its
original
Stop list of type 135A.
These
are:
Flute
16'
Salicional
8'
Vox
Humana 8'
Trumpet
8'
Piano
Glockenspiel
Xylophone
Chimes
The
original traps are gone as is the original toy counter, chimes,
xylophone,
glock and piano. We will be replacing
these when we get moving
on the
reinstallation of this instrument. I
have yet to find anyone else
with an
original Style 135A that still exists.
Please help out the
prospective
La Crosse Chapter of the ATOS an the Temple Theatre Resoration
Committee
with any information that you come across regarding Style 135A's
around
the country. I will update you as we
progress in the restoration of
the
organ.

Crosse, WI
