In a letter to me, Steve called it "positively silurian." Look that one up in your Funk and Wagnall's!

Thus, the 260.Ĭompared to most of the Wurlitzers people might be familiar with, the 35 stoplist is somewhat bizarre. One also suspects that as Wurlitzer's output and notoriety started to grow, Wurlitzer felt that something more expensive and impressive was in order something more that the market would then bear. The "most bang for the buck" (witness the 32' Diaphones!) yet overall economy-minded design of this model makes one suspect the influence of CEO Howard Wurlitzer who, up until 1923, would be dictating what "made the books" and what didn't. Unification was limited throughout the whole instrument-save a few ranks. The 35 was loaded with many more couplers than the 260 in order to obtain the most flexibility possible from the straight chest as well as the unit ranks.

These six 49-note ranks could be coupled to any of the other manuals and Pedal.

The 35 Solo manual was a "straight" one controlling a six-rank ventil chest.

However, the 260 was a true thoroughbred Unit Orchestra featuring unit manual chests throughout, better pitch selection and full note compasses in all of the ranks. The observant reader will note that the rank compliments of the 35 and 260 are identical. That model became known as the Style 260 which first appeared in 1920.

The Style 35 saw a very short period of manufacture-1915 to 1918, but in that time Wurlitzer got the idea that they had a winning combination of voices to work with in developing a bigger and better version of the 35. Until 1915, the Style 6-a 2-3/5 manual 13 rank instrument occupied that position. This is Wurlitzer's second attempt at building a medium-sized Unit Orchestra capable of filling some of the larger Vaudeville theatres that were beginning to crop up in the mid-teens. Its sale was really an economic necessity given the owner it went to after Steve's untimely death. However, it should be stated for the record that the organ was in very rough shape and would have required numerous pipes to be replaced and everything else overhauled down to the last screw. Unfortunately, Steve passed away before that could happen and the instrument was sold and later broken up for parts. Steve Levin was a good acquaintance of mine who wanted to see this instrument re-installed in a venue that would welcome it. I am personally familiar with this instrument.
WURLITZER ORGAN PRICES UPDATE
We received the most recent update for this note from Database Manager This system was utilized from 1910-1925 in Wurlitzer's "deluxe" instruments whatever that happened to be in a given period of their theatre organ production history. Each dowel rotated each way when its corresponding pneumatic pair pushed or pulled it. The pneumatics are connected to a row of dowels. There is a corresponding set of pneumatics on the other side of the machine that returned the swell pedals to "closed" position. The pneumatics shown operated the swell pedal linkages that caused the console's swell pedals to depress when the organist manipulated the swell indicator "bobbers" manually thereby allowing the organist to control the organ's swell pedals by hand. As an example, it shows the rear of the Wurlitzer/Hope Jones "Balanced Swell" system machine at lower left. The photo to the left is of the rear of the four-manual console that controlled the Wurlitzer organ in the Denver Municipal Auditorium. Updated through online information from Eric Schmiedeberg.
