The Capt'ns Galley in Campbell is gone (closed many years ago) but the 
Santa Clara location is still there, renamed (I think) Pizza and Pipes. 
Not sure about the RC location.

Angelino's in San Jose has a theater organ. It's been aruond for about 20 
years. The food there isn't very good, IMO, and the place is really too 
small for such a large organ, so it's pretty loud.
