So along with the TBO-1 I dragged home last weekend I also scored this....
a 1959 model 4420 in very nice shape along with the manuals, and a letter from the organ dealership to the lady who bought it thanking her for her patronage! Too cool! I've been reading alot about these organs, and it did not disapoint. A very different sound than i'm used to with my C3 and I had to remember to let it be it's own unique thing but once i did what a gem! Such a nice rich tone! The wood is in very nice shape and everything seems to work. I already want another. THe speaker code dates to the 40th week of 1959. All the tubes are Wurlitzer branded.
A very cool organ that i'm very pleased to have in the collection! Long Live the ES Wurlitzer!

I thought the Wirl spinets often sound better than some of their larger organs. The reeds do have a tendency to go sharp.
