I too have happy memories of playing the Capitol organ and the beautiful albeit run down cinema in which it was found. Good to remember that the ATOT is still in existence and trying to find a new home for the Compton. Until that happy day I remain over 200 miles from my nearest theatre organ and only get to play them when in America :–(
This organ saw a great deal of use at Abbey Road particularly accompanying other artistes. If you go to

there are some recordings of it in a solo capacity. It is now being installed in a private venue in Norfolk.
