Description

This group is for builders of Wurlitzer's Model 105 and other Band organs. Here we share building tips, missing information, nitty gritty details and anything useful for the construction and maintenance of these organs. There is a forum for questions and answers and classifieds for people who built more valves then they need and want to dispose of one. Please feel free to add photos and files relevent to Band Organs and the 105 in particular.

This group is mostly unmoderated but new members will be moderated until they prove themselves as not being spammers.

Any commercial off topic posts will be subject to a $300. per message fee before the post will be allowed. Please make out a check to my favorite charity MannaRelief.org and send it to D.L. Bullock 1320 Milton Rd. Alton IL 62002. Once your check is received and cleared, your post will be posted.

If you have your own personal or business website link in your signature that will be acceptable and not considered spam unless it is excessive in which case it will be trimmed.

Yes the bottom is covered to be more airtight. If a wooden stopper cracks it can become a leak and then the pipe plays a harmonic instead of the fundamental

Re: 105 roll frame from Russ
That is an interesting roll frame. Johnson organs used some thing like that in the 1970's, not sure if they are still using it. I wonder how they controlled

Re-leathering Pipe Stoppers (Wurl 105)
Are there special techniques for re-leathering pipe-stoppers? Some of mine are very loose. They used .025 leather and after almost 80 years, it's pretty well
