  • In 1928, the Wurlitzer company supplied a theater organ for the King's Cross Theater in London. It was a standard type 'H' organ that Wurlitzer delivered to various customers. In 1937 the organ was transferred by Hill, Norman & Beard to the Savoy Theater in Hurstville, New South Wales, Australia. In 1958 this theater sold the organ to a church, the Congregational Church in Burwood, New South Wales.
  • In 1992 the congregation of Burwood bought a second-hand organ from Gray & Davison from 1887 for this church from Wales. The Wurlitzer organ was purchased by Howard Terrill and was moved by the Wakeley Pipe Organs company in 2002-2003 to an organ room behind his home in Heathcote, Victoria.
  • In 2010 the organ was sold to the Gulangyu Organ Museum in Xiamen in China. The Wakeley Pipe Organs company transferred it to the new location.
