Merrill, if it would be possible to get a copy of that photo, I would be mor ethan happy to pay for that. I own the Wurlitzer theatre organ from the Ori. Terry
The original Wurlitzer organ, Opus 2131, installed in 1930 was removed by J Arthur Goggin and subsequently sold to Larry McPherson of Indianapolis who planned to install it in a pizza restaurant. That never materialized and the organ was sold to Dan Stankey & myself (Terry Hochmuth) who restored it and installed it in our home in New Lenox, Illinois, a Chicago suburb, in 1983. After I suffered a tragic accident in 1995 and was severely burned, it was sold to Ron Rhode and Ron Tanner in Pheonix and installed in their home. In June, 2006, it was removed from their home and is I once again own it. It will be installed in my new home in North Truro, MA. A true case of a Mighty Wurlitzer that’s returning to its home territory!

That is definitely the Mattapan Oriental!
The organ at the State Theatre was a Wurlitzer Style 205 with 2 manuals and 10 ranks of pipes. It is currently installed in a home in Massachusetts.
