The Lyric Theatre Wurlitzer 210SP opus 1074 that was installed in the Monrovia High School was removed in August of 2009. Much of the manual chest pipe work was either badly damaged or missing , and the original relay and switch stack were gone by the time we removed the organ. The last time it played to my knoledge was somewhere between 1968 and 1970. If it played after that time I would be interested! In my opinion the organ was badly neglected , and its console was abused by carving Graffiti into its mahogany veneer. All of the organ that we could save is now in Northern California resting in storage , and will be restored and installed in a new home at a future date
