DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
A former sister-in-law had sent me an official Roaring 20s Pizza Menu and postcard of this beautiful organ, and, as I had sent information on the Estey Pipe Organ in Fairfax, Oklahoma and St. John's Catholic Church Pipe Organ in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, I thought this would be the best place to at least try and give you this information. There are four other photos that I am uploading at your discretion.

Updated through online information from Richard Harrold. -- Originally a 4/20 Publix #1. Shipped from the Wurlitzer works at North Tonawanda, NY, 28th July 1931, to the Paramount Theatre, Oakland, CA. Sold to one Urban Braito in Benicia, CA in 1955. Removed to the Melody Inn Restaurant, Los Altos, CA in 1969. Spent time in storage, owned by one Steve Restivo. Enlarged to 42 ranks and installed in 1979 in the Paramount Music Palace, Indianapolis in 1979. Removed to Ken Crome's workshops in Reno, NV in January 1995 for a rebuild. Installed in Roaring 20s in Ellenton, FL in 1999. Restaurant closed in 2010, organ advertised for sale, believed in store in Florida. I was told a rumour that it would go into a new restaurant in Jacksonville, but all seems quiet on that front.
