The Carousel mentioned below operated at English Village in Lake Havasu, Arizona. It seemed to fall into dis-repair 'including' English Village. It was repaired-rebuilt by Brass Ring and the notes below are a quote from them. It's new location is/was The Aquatic Center in the same city. It seems The Aquatic Center has a dead website and the link to English Village an obscure deferred website ?? Stay tuned. This written April 2007.

Lake Havasu City to get their carousel back ! (NO)

Many people will remember the carousel under the London Bridge. It was a great historic 1920's Herschell Spillman machine owned by a private citizen from Lake Havasu City. Unfortunately, they lost their site and the carousel had to be moved. The State of Arizona recognizing the treasure that could be lost purchased the machine.

After many years, the carousel is coming home. The machine is going to be installed at the Aquatic Center. For the last 3 years the contract has been under scrutiny, but now it's done and here we go. A lot of the work is done. The horses are painted and the trim is ready. Now comes the hard stuff. New platforms are being designed and built. All of the bearings will be a new greaseless style and the drive will be updated to a new Vector type, which is a completely state of the art motor drive. Brass Ring will get you photos of all of the work as soon as possible.
