    Can someone identify this Gulbransen Theater Organ?

    It has been in our family since being purchased in the 1950-60s.  It works great but I am running out of room in our home and the one person that played piano and organ has since moved away.  We have a piano for the kids to learn on so I am tempted to sell this one and give it a good home. 

    It has a beautiful matching bench that we have been using with our piano.  Looks like a pretty redwood type cabinetry.

    That looks like an older Baldwin series, possibly.  I had a 46C tube organ with the exact same color but it had a full pedal board.  If there were close up pictures  would we could probably wing the make of it.

    I believe it is a later Gulbransen Model E. This is the theatre model, I had the classical with black&white tabs.

    I'd have to agree. Model E Theatre, from circa 1959.

    As for the value of a 50 year old console like this, it's not going to be much, if anything, assuming that it's fully working. Non-working value is realistically around zero. Sad to hear maybe, but she's an old lady and the organ market is all but non exisitent these days.

    There are a couple of real Gully experts on here who may chip in with some extra info.

    It's not what you play, it's not how you play. It's the fact that you're playing that counts.
