FS: North Tonawanda Style 159 Band Organ
By Bill Black

Dr. Edgar Dilks, a friend of the late Mike Kitner, would like to sell
his North Tonawanda Style 159 Band Organ (46 keys, bass drum, snare
drum and cymbal).  He is not a member of this group so I am posting
this information which he provided to me.

The organ is playing Wurlitzer style 125 rolls of which 18 are
included.  The organ was rebuilt by Mike about 25 years ago and the
pressure pump was rebuilt by Mike 5 or 6 years ago.  He states that the
organ is in playing well with a small mechanical problem in the rewind
mechanism.

The organ is mounted in a 1956 Dodge all-aluminum 1-ton panel type
truck, running well with new brakes and amusing antique tags.  The
truck has a one-piece side door which opens up to expose the organ.
The truck and organ go together as a package.  Included in this package
is a complete PA system and generator used for playing the organ.

I have a picture of the outfit; anyone who is interested can e-mail
me and I'll send it by e-mail.  The organ is located in the Harrisburg,
PA, area.  Asking price is $25,000.  Offers considered.

Anyone interested can contact the owner directly by phone:
Dr. Edgar Dilks, tel.: 717-737-8183
