An automatic Wurlitzer orchestra machine with a wood cabinet is against the wall next to a door at the Gold Coin Saloon in Central City, Colorado. Clear glass windows on the front of the cabinet show the inside of the machine, which includes cymbals and a small carved figure sitting on a hogshead holding a drumstick up to the side of a drum. A mounted animal head, only partially visible, hangs over the piano. Advertisements for "Weiner Meizer" hang on the wall and plants sit on the floor next to the piano.
