I am creating a updated list of the location, scale and status of all
the organs capable of playing _true_ B.A.B. music rolls (transcriptions
to the Wurlitzer Style 165 roll scale don't count). Any additions,
suggestions, or corrections would be appreciated!
- Hampton, Virginia: PTC#50, 66-key B.A.B. rolls being scanned to MIDI,
expected to play again in mid-2014.
- Brooklyn, New York: B&B Carousel, 66-key, newly converted to MIDI,
however no longer plays B.A.B. arrangements as the original rolls
were not scanned by the restorer.
- Spokane, Washington: Riverfront Carousel, 87-key, poor condition,
played on a very limited basis, awaiting funds for restoration.
- Queens, New York: Corona Park Carousel, 87-key, terrible condition,
missing pipes, hasn't played in at least 5 years.
