Interior view of Wurlitzer style 40 Mandolin Pianorchestra (Otto Carlsen collection, circa 1966).

The mechanism that provides the projected sense of animation for the Roman fountain scene is not installed. Otto Carlsen never restored nor attempted to replace the fragile loose mesh cloth belt that provided the projected sense of animation.

This instrument is currently in the Nethercutt collection, Sylmar, California.
