Nelson-Wiggen 6X in Disneyland Main Street
By Dave Allan

We recently completed a refresh of the Nelson-Wiggen 6X that plays
in the Disneyland Main Street Train Station.  I have started uploading
videos to YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQKwUNsO4dI 

In the evening the lighting in the train station is not very good;
I'm sorry only the inside is visible in the video.  I will post some
daylight videos when I get some.  Please enjoy!

 [ Dave writes at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFX23u2aJTc :
 [
 [ "We currently have a small team that works on these instruments.
 [ I cared for the collection (including the Welte and the Nelson
 [ Wiggen) from 1974 to about 1985.  I then moved on to other jobs.
 [ I am now back in the department watching over the restorations.
 [ When I was hired in 1974 they picked me for the job because
 [ I was mechanically inclined, was studying to be a piano tech,
 [ and was a music major in college.  I do all I can to keep them
 [ playing good."
