DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
Updated by Eric Schmiedeberg, who gave this as the source of the information: I am very familiar with Wurlitzer protocols and have both played, owned and worked on lots of their consoles..
Photographic evidence shows that the console was placed at the house-right end of the orchestra pit on a rotating lift.
