The hall in 1966. Can you spot the North Tonawanda style B Pianolin, Seeburg E, tall barrel orchestrion, and Seeburg Celesta with theater organ toy counter parts mounted on the wall above it? Most of the pianos had an animated display sitting on top, connected to the pitch game described earlier in this article.
