FS: Aeolian Player Organ Console in California
By Al Sefl

For Sale: One Aeolian player organ console.  It is a two-manual console
complete with pedalboard (standard 32 notes) and bench.  The top is
missing but everything else is there complete with the player unit.
I'd buy it for myself but it has "divorce" written all over it and
I cannot afford the divorce.

This console in very fine condition comes complete with a few rolls.
This is from the chapel of old Saint Mary's Hospital in San Francisco.
It was playing when I was born there, and my Mom remembers sitting in
the chapel with me while someone played rolls on the organ.  That and
my riding for hours and hours in front of the Wurlitzer band organ at
the merry-go-round in Golden Gate Park explains a lot!

The party with the console for sale is David Banks, telephone
(1) 415-647-1080.  He might be able to send JPEG photos of it, and
the price he quoted me seems reasonable.
