Still in the building stages, this 2 manual circus wagon console resides in the home of Scott & Rebecca Bilot, of West Allis, Wis.
The console was first installed in the Eastwood Theatre in Toledo Ohio.
The Eastwood Theatre was built around 1928 and had the 2/4 Barton organ installed in then. The chambers were long and narrow and obviously based on the bulky Barton chests, organ was divided in solo and main, with the percussions and toy counter.
It is now a church. The organ was removed from the theatre either in the late 60s or early 70s.
This photo of the console is when it was installed in a home on Glenwood Avenue in the Old West End. Notice the grille behind the console. Sometime in the 1980s it was sold and removed from that house.
There is a second Console, a Wangerin roll player, located in the adjacent dining room.
