Walter Gerber wrote in 160309 MMDigest, "I seek help to learn the
model number of the Wurlitzer band organ in the attached photos;
not shown are cherubs and statues."  Robbie remarked, "It reminds
me of the 'church pipe band organ' built for Ray Siou..."

I'd guess Robbie is at least close to the mark, if not spot on.
It certainly doesn't look like any authentic Wurlitzer I've seen.
You should be suspicious about the origin of any band organ with
metal pipes.

It is easy to be misled into thinking a band organ is a Wurlitzer
because it plays Wurlitzer rolls.  The fact is that since Wurlitzer
stopped production there have been many organs built and/or adapted
to play Wurlitzer music rolls.

The big appeal of this approach is that these rolls are the most easily
obtained of all paper or cardboard music for band organs.  Both the
Stinson and Johnson organ works have built very good replicas, and
there is a fairly large "Wurlitzer 105" builders community.

Of course the starting point in identifying any organ is to look at the
books or rolls to see what scale it plays.  If you have any music, you
should know if it was built in the 125, 150, or 165 classes.

"I'd also like a guess as to its worth fully restored ..."

There is, as far as I know, no good guide to organ prices.  It depends
on location, model, whether the buyer has a truck or trailer, how fast
you need to sell, and a lot more.  It is true that some organs will
bring over $100,000, but ...

A "Fully Restored Early Wurlitzer Band Organ on Stand Mint Condition"
on eBay keeps getting maximum bids of under $25,000.00, but the owner
will not sell after about a year of listing it.  I have the impression
that the seller expects about twice that.

A band organ "playing 150 rolls" which was not described as actually
being a Wurlitzer did not sell on eBay recently at a buy-it-now price
of $7,500.

"... and I'm looking for manuals, diagrams or other available
information."

The only "Wurlitzer manuals" that I am aware of are sets of plans for
building your own Style 105 from bits of wood and metal.  I doubt that
there ever were any "shop manuals."  Years ago Vestal Press published
a number of sets of drawings of various Wurlitzer sub-assemblies.

That is not to suggest that this organ can not be re-built to play
wonderful music, but it is unlikely to be a great treasure to collectors.
