Wurlitzer Organs at Tom Fretty's Musical Museum
By Dan Robinson

James Williams asked in MMD 220206 about Wurlitzer band organs from
Tom Fretty's Musical Museum (Manly, Iowa). I replied in MMD 220216 that
I knew of three that had been there: a Style 105 last known by me to
be privately owned in Indiana; the Style 146, serial #3000, owned by
an MMDer (MMD 220221); and a Style 153, #3706, now privately owned in
Illinois.

Now the reason for this follow-up: I have since been informed off-list
by someone who worked with Tom Fretty at one point that other Style 105
organs came and went and that Tom also owned a Style 125, Style 150 and
a Caliola.
