Carousel at Pottstown Wurlitzer 125 Band Organ
By Dan Robinson

[ Ref. Cassidy Juraniec in 240728 MMDigest ]

Although the band organ displayed at the Carousel at Pottstown
(Pennsylvania) does indeed look very much like a Wurlitzer Style 125,
it was actually built by the North Tonawanda Musical Instrument
Works (NTMIW). It's likely a Style 55 with added drums or a Style 155.

Note the Lyon & Healy logo on the organ front. Lyon & Healy was
a musical instrument sales agency associated with NTMIW. (Ref. Fred
Dahlinger's article in the COAA "Carousel Organ," issue #56, July 2013).
