Interior of the
Wurlitzer Style 40 Mandolin PianOrchestra
Philipps Pianella Model 40 (Celesta)
(Otto Carlsen collection, circa 1966)

The wooden box, electrical lamps and
mechanical mechanism that provides the projected sense of animation
for the Roman fountain scene is not installed. Otto Carlsen kept
but never
restored nor attempted to replace the fragile loose mesh cloth belt
that provided the projected sense of animation. Moreover, Otto
stated that the instrument was easier to service without the
scene animation mechanism installed.
