Yep, I saw it Saturday.  It looks like a Wurlitzer 153, with Doyle
Lane plastic valves painted black just under the orchestra bells.
I couldn't tell if they worked the bells or the inverted trumpets
just below them.

The three organs play in rotation around the merry-go-round, one
after the other, one song each.  It was playing Irish jigs when it's
turn to play came around each time in the opposite direction than
the merry-go-round was turning.

The three bass trombones sounded great.  The bells for some reason
did not work but only twitched all at once now and then, like their
register turn-on valve was very marginal and failed each time to turn
them on, and also one bell beater was missing.  At least on that one
organ you can actually see some of the pipes and valves popping up
and down and the bell beater pneumatics that are supposed to strike
the bell bars.  It's facade was perfectly done.

The big Ruth organ was where the Wurlitzer 165 is now.  Years ago,
when it had no facade, you could see lots of the pipes and the register
control rod and push wires that opened the front row of pipes valves
for that row to play moving in its control time in and out.  I would
practically drool over the old little open pipes, dark with age and
tuned with a slip of wood glued over a corner of the open top of each
of them.  I returned again and again, week after week, just to look 
and listen and then go home and make hundreds and hundreds of pipes,
selling them in 24-note sets or making up incomplete pipe sets for
others' band organ restoration work.  Some of my pipes had black
walnut fronts.

I still make a lot of pipes very reasonably priced as I did back then,
and I also accept trades.
