Band Organ At The Oaks Amusement Park, Portland
By Mike Schoeppner

Thank you to all the enthusiastic MMD'ers who responded to my request
for more information on my Wurlitzer 146 organ.  These include John
Pohlpeter, Terry Robson, Jonas Nordwall, Robbie Rhodes, and Kyle Nasman.

It appears certain that my organ does not have the history that I had
been told.  Various people know about the Oaks Park organs, and they
are still with collectors in the Portland area.  Rather, my organ
almost certainly came from the Browning Bros. Amusement Company in
Salem, Oregon.  I will try to follow that trail next.  Thanks again
for your help.

Mike Schoeppner
