|

This San Diego newspaper article, circa mid 1960s to 1969,
mentions a mechanical music collector by the name of Wayne
Gilbert, a machine shop owner who lived in El Cajon,
California. The instrument, a Wurlitzer "military" band organ of
unknown model, was quite an attraction at the "gala art
celebration." The band organ , reportedly built in 1910, was said
to be kept in good repair by Ray Thomas, son-in-law and
apprentice to Herbert Vincent. |
