This console controlled an instrument that the
Robert-Morton Organ Company of Van Nuys, California, installed in the
Metropolitan Theatre (later the
Strand, Hermosa, and finally the Bijou Theatre) in 1923, in Hermosa
Beach, California. It controlled 5 unit ranks which, oddly, did not
include a Diapason (Flute, Tibia, Violin, Vox Humana and Trumpet, plus
four tuned percussions!). The organ was later removed to a church in
Redondo Beach, and apparently lost its Tibia and Trumpet. The console
was eventually replaced (and finally wound up in my hands),
although I believe that the remains of the original Robert-Morton
organ still remain in the church.
