Greetings each!
I am part of a team of volunteers who want to restore the UK's oldest Wurlitzer theatre organ (Beer, Devon) to its former glory.
The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a lot of info available regarding exactly how the darned things work!
Does anyone know where we can find technical info please?
I am thinking at the moment of wiring diagrams and tremelo/tremulant construction and workings.
Cheers.

According to this report Cannock Chase Cinema Organ Society may be able to help you. They recently restored one in Blackpool this year.

There is a programme on Radio 2 called the organist entertains (Weds evenings I think). They tour the country and may be able to give you info of who to contact for technical information.
