Wurlitzer PianOrchestra Style 34A Recording
By Tarjei Olsen

I have a vinyl record, originally from Mekanisk Musik Museum, that
I purchased at a market in Berlin in 2009, called "Ragtime Cabaret".
On the back it tells the story of a Wurlitzer PianOrchestra Style 34A
that was renovated by Terry Hathaway, and which is featured on the
record.  In addition to this story, the following information is
included:

  Production: Claes O. Friberg and Q. David Bowers
  Recording: Corky Griffin
  Supervision: Terry Hathaway
  Cover Illustration: Rob & Carol
  Layout: Lorraine Gillman
  Issued by the Mekanisk Musik Museum / Copenhagen, Denmark
  MMM Records, LP-203, Stereo

The recording was issued jointly by Mekanisk Musik Museum, Vesterbrogade
150, Copenhagen, Denmark, and American International Galleries, Inc.,
1802 Kettering Street, Irvine, California 92714.

I don't know if this information is of any use for you, but I thought
I'd post it just in case.  :-)

 [ Terry Hathaway wrote about the acquisition of this instrument in 1969:
 [ "Then, one morning, as I was sitting in my office at Hathaway &
 [ Bowers, Inc., Dave Bowers walked in with a big smile on his face.
 [ He tossed two black and white photographs on my desk, saying, 
 [ 'Mr. DeRoy found this.'"  The whole story is at
