Rosa Rio at the Tampa Theatre Wurlitzer Organ

This WURLITZER was once owned by Paul G. Sholomicki, a IATSE projectionist in St. Petersburg, Fla. and came from a theatre, however, all the pipes Paul had were from a church. I helped Paul with some of the restoration of the console. The console had been painted white, black, green and a kind of yellow. Paul had the console installed in his home and was going to install the pipes in his garage. Unfortunately, Paul was killed during the tear down of a stage show at the Van Wezel Hall of Performing Arts in Sarasota, Florida ( respectfully called THE PURPLE PALACE by all of us stage hands/projectionist, and never had the pipes installed in his house.
