A glimpse of the Echo Theatre, c.1920s
 
The Echo Theatre had a Style 45 Fotoplayer, install date unknown. This instrument is not listed in any of the online organ opus lists.
 
In October 1926, there were discussions between Sandy Balcom and the theatre's management around moving the Echo's Fotoplayer to the Alhambra Theatre, but it is unknown if the move was ever completed.
