No Matter what I do, I can't get it. 
I went to the you tube site, and still no luck. 
Is it because I am using Safari on a Mac?

Hello all, 

Some of you are aware, (most probably not), that I've been restoring a Wurlitzer carousel organ for the last several years. To say it was a train wreck would be an understatement. Ultimately I ended up rebuilding the entire cabinet, and all new veneer, lots of fabrication of missing or unsalvageable parts, close to 150 SqFt of organ leathers, lots of replating, the list is far too comprehensive to list. Needless to say it was a colossal project. I've rebuilt my share of music machines but never one that was in such poor condition. Nevertheless it is an exceptionally special machine with a very special history. There was no ethical option but to return it to exact factory condition. 


A video sampler has been uploaded on Youtube at the following link: http://youtu.be/x6MJfMDpBt8 I've had a few reports that the link wasn't working correctly, if so copy and paste directly into your browser. 

This organ was shipped new in April of 1925 to Norumbega Park in Newton, MA. Norumbega was a very historically significant amusement park that closed forever in 1963. To learn more a historical society for the park has established a web page here: http://www.norumbegapark.com/
