I thought I saw a music rack directly under the collapsed pipe tower. Wonder if the keydesk (console) is still there, just not visible in the pic.

the pedalboard has definitely fared the best....looks like it could still render the Middelshulte 'Perpetual Motion for Pedals Alone'

I play the organ.....definitely sad to see a historic pipe organ abandoned like this. But if you had a couple rolls of duct tape and another person with you, you just might get some sound out!!! It looks like the center tower holding some '8 pipes collapsed and the pipes scattered themselves around the gallery

Motts, did you happen to check out Whalom Park in Lunenburg MA? That park closed in 2001, and basically sat untouched for the next five years or so, before they finally demoed it 2006-2007. If you did, I will be looking forward to seeing the pics because that will be one hell of a gallery: a mostly intact abandoned amusement park!!

yes I used to love this ride......it wasn't scary at all!! Especially when the car would whip around a corner and crash through a set of doors. The Whalom Park Fun House was even cooler.

Lynne, are you from Rhode Island or the surrounding area? Sounds like you are pretty familiar with this park. (The Lynne who always steps up to the plate when people start speculating a little too much about "mental illness treatments" of years gone by; and also helps us keep the soap dispenser thread alive!

Looks like a Hammond C3 organ to me.....I wonder if there was a Leslie speaker kicking around near it?
wrote:
nope not a B3, or any Hammond for that matter....I'd have to cast my lot with the guy who said it was a Conn organ, although I initially thought it was a Thomas organ (looks like Thomas-colored tilting tablets. In excellent condition...looks like all it needs is to cleaned up and a few broken keys repaired. It more than likely still works....these things are usually bulletproof.
