What hapened to the Decap band organ that was in the cafe?

As someone with an interest on mechanical music whathappened to THE 105 FIRST GENERATION SEMI ELECTRONIC DECAP BAND ORGAN that was in the cafe/restaurent? This was in here for many years and i believe was coin operated.Where is it now? I would also like to mention that the famous firm of GEBR DECAP OF ANTWERP BELGUIM is STILL IN BUSINESS Still building Organs of this kind.With this in mind they should be commissioned to build a NEW DIGITAL ELECTRONIC BAND ORGAN,as they are now building a new generation of instruments of this kind. and a new replacement for the original DECAP ORGAN that WAS AT DREAMLAND could be supplied by the very same firm that built the original DECAP ORGAN! www.decapantwerp
As "KING OF THE FLUMERS" I myself many years ago experienced the now historic SCENIC RAILWAY,It is my greatest wish to see it restored to its former glory and splendor and to experience it once again.

The organ is still in the Dreamland cinema, though.
