Rainbow Room Wurlitzer
3/10 Wurlitzer Opus 2185
Moved to Rahway, NJ July 10, 1999
This organ is from the Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center in New York City
This very special Wurlitzer pipe organ along with its two consoles, pristine pipe work, scratchless chests, roll player, along with a complete set of Wurlitzer organ rolls recorded by names like Jesse Crawford, has recently been donated to GSTOS by Lee Hulko. The organ has been packed and removed from its chambers and moved to its new home, the newly redone Senior Citizen facility in Rahway, NJ, by a very capable crew, made up mostly from members of our other regular organ crews.
