KIMBALL PIPE ORGAN #6644 -
Originally installed in Forum Theatre, Los Angeles, CA in 1924 (?), moved to Warner's Western (Wiltern) Theatre in 1928.

Information providede by Ray Thursby

NOTES:
1. Stop order is shown as original; LATOS rearranged the stops to match Wurlitzer form during the 1970s.
2. Chamber location is given on the Orchestral stops: M=main, S=solo. The echo organ, located next to the projection booth, was not operable after the organ was restored but was complete (except for the Musette, which apparently was provided for but not installed by Kimball).
3. Location of stops on console was: Percussion (4th) manual - left partial curved rail; Pedal - left lower curved rail, including 2nd touch stops, which carried added "2nd T" engraving; Accompaniment (1st) manual - left upper curved rail; Orchestral (2nd) manual - right partial and lower curved rails; Solo (3rd) manual - right upper curved rail; Vibratos - right lower curved rail; Echo division - lower straight rail; 2nd touches - upper straight rail.
4. Stopkey colors: White w/black lettering - Flues; White w/red lettering - color reeds and Vibratos; red w/black lettering - brass reeds; Amber w/black lettering - strings; white w/green lettering - percussions; Black w/white lettering - couplers. The only exceptions to this form were the flute (Tibia?) extensions placed with the color reed stops; these were also white with red lettering.
5. At some time during the 1970s, the Diaphonic Diapason (on 15" wind) was replaced by a Hope-Jones Tibia Clausa. The original Kimball Tibia was located in the main chamber.
6. Organ was removed from the theater and eventually went to Bob Maes, who broke it up.
