That Ruth does need some work. That carousel is preserved like barely any other Looff, still in it's original building... Pure tradition! This carousel, along with others remaining in their original homes, such as Glen Echo Park's and other carousels, are the very definition of the experience of riding an antique carousel back in it's heyday and what it's like. The Crescent Park carousel has never lost it's heyday lol... neither have the other carousels remaining in their original homes and buildings. Santa Cruz's is in it's original home but not it's original building any more since 1966...
The main organ figure's arm doesn't move anymore :( and I think the system that connects the 2 sides to the organ is loose on the bass drum/cymbal side.
