Blue Mouse console
 
The Blue Mouse Theatre originally had a Style 210 Wurlitzer (opus #362) shipped from the factory in October 1920. Records shows that in 1927, "Buss" McClelland was staff organist and Billy Bilger played swing-shift.
 
In 1957, Bob Hansen of Bellevue, Washington purchased the instrument and installed it in his home.
 
In 1973, the instrument was sold to Jack & Mary Lou Becvar who have installed it in their home in Kent, Washington south of Seattle.
 
The original two-manual console has recently been sold to St. Davids Church in Shelton where it will control a 2/6 Morton - Balcom & Vaughan instrument there.
 
The original blower for this instrument in now owned by Jeff Fox of Bellingham.
