WCCO, Minneapolis, MN. This long-time CBS affiliate had a Wurlitzer 3 Manual Style 260 (Opus 2080) built in 1929. It was installed in the Nicollet Island Hotel studios near downtown Minneapolis. It was then moved to the station’s new facilities on Second Avenue and South 7th. Street. Staff organists were Eddie Dunstedter and Ramona Gerhard. After being away for nearly five decades, the WCCO Wurlitzer is being restored to be installed in the Historic Heights Theater located in Columbia Heights, MN. There was an article written about the WCCO Wurlitzer in the Saturday October 2002 edition of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
