This old school video is precious. Glad it lives on on TH-cam.

"Did I mention that Wurlitzer is great? They're not only great, but really great."

Some people may not know that this plant still exists and is occupied with several businesses including: a wedding event venue, a brewery/restaurant, a chocolate factory & shop, a home goods/crafts store, a plumbing store, a dog day care center and many others. It also has several antique car shows during the summer on the grounds and is a great place to visit.

That’s awesome. I’ll have to visit sometime.

Ah yes….back in the day when stuff was made to last forever.

[@navyspook79]

The days of this kind of quality are long gone.

QUALITY DOESN'T COST, IT PAYS!!

Sad by the late 1940's wood was mostly replaced by plastics and aluminum and most of these craftsmen were furloed out. I owned a 1938 #600 playing 78’s back around 1955 and the wood box was still flawless, just had to do a varnish refinish and it looked new. HiFi ?? had just one speaker-- a giant 15" electro-dynamic with lots of 60~ hum so knocked out the speaker coil and an LA magnet company managed to fit in an Alnico permanent magnet and it was good to go. Most audio amplifier tubes were early 2-digit types like 30, 45, 80 etc and readily available from surplus stores.

Wow. This film needs some serious restoration/remastering work. But otherwise excellent!😄

[@joesmith7427]

Near by was Melody Fair, a round building where top names in show business would put on shows!! Its no longer there!! It was a circle shaped building!! Some other places call it circle in the round!!

My mother, betty finley and her sister virginia finley worked thete during the WW11.
I knew Frank Neddy he tested organs by playing 3 songs by ear, and that he would hit every note on the organ!!
These were king in sound!!

[@victoryglass]

That is an awesome connection you have. I'm glad you enjoyed these 16mm films!

A sad reminder of how American industry was once the envy of the world. 🌎

[@SeptemberAdam]

And why should it have been in the first place?
Why does America have to have the best of everything? Don't think I care for that kind of nationalcentric attitude.

There's a Werlitzer pipe organ at Blackpool Tower Ballroom in England

I hate optical audio tracks
I'd rather have a little noise but without any further distortion.

If this isn´t Walter Cronkite narrating, i´ll eat up my Shoes.

[@dariowiter3078]

Not...even...close to Walter Cronkite, dude.

And lumber was cheap.
