I have finally gotten to pulling the main chest apart on the
Wurlitzer 105 band organ I'm rebuilding. On the bottom board of
the chest I found the following:
A.L. Crescio
Leavenworth, Kansas
April 1937
at St. Louis MO. for Mr. Sautero
Do the names Crescio or Sautero ring a bell with anyone? Seems
strange that the instrument, built in 1928 and serviced by Wurlitzer
in 1931, needed repair to the pallets in 1937.
