What a beast! ,As far as I can remember it didnt rise up as they often do ,it was high up stage left ,i used to gaze in wonder at it during long Lynard Skynard guitar solos back in the 70s.

“Wurlitzer Publix One 4-manual theatre organ, installed in the Paramount Theatre (later the Odeon) in 1930.

When the Odeon became a multiplex, the organ was installed in the Free Trade Hall. It took 4 years to install it, and it was first used in September 1977.

When the Free Trade Hall closed in 1996, the organ was removed and installed in the Great Hall of Stockport Town Hall, first being used in 1999.”
