Are there any B.O. builders here in Japan? I have to part out my 150 replica (electronic) because the building is to be razed and I can't bring the organ to...
There are no holes on the 125 scale rolls that turn anything on or off like the 150 and 165 scale. These scales actually turn things *on* (lock) but a single...
Hi All, I just uploaded my Notes and other documents on building the 105 Case. It has taken a while to finish the construction but thanks to the help and input...
I've just purchased a late model 105 (shipped from the factory on January 31, 1938). It has the 4-in-one Valve system - which was the first I had heard of...
Congrats Max, Have you recieved the organ yet? There is ,I'm sure a way to rebuild those valves. as long as they are working fine now , leave them well enough...
No yet. It's en-route from CA, due in this weekend. The previous owner did some work on the valves, but it's been in storage for the past 8 years, so some were...
Hi Max, Congratulations on your new 105. Bill Black is just now rebuilding the valves in his Wurlitzer Caliola on the carousels.com web site. He has some good...
... Hi Max and others; When I purchased part of an estate of a well known Pennsylvania restorer, there were a quantity of aluminum castings of top plates for ...
I have a project planned to make copies of these pot metal wurli quad valves. I will do that in the next year or two. I have a spin caster in my shop now for...
Thanks to all who responded. I had my first look at the quad valves on William Black's Caliola project. To DLB: Count me in, if you plan to sell a few to share...
I have seen at least four versions of the Wurlitzer wooden valve used by Wurlitzer over the years. I just recieved one of the reproduction valves from Robert...
I have spin casters in my shop and this will be able to do everything but drill the channels in the lid which will need to be done by hand. You can turn out...
I'm curious as to when Wurlitzer changed over to the metal valves? This 105 was shipped in January 1938, and it was next to the last 105 (1939). Also, are the...
Thanks Don and Max, I use Visio Professional as my CAD software and currently Adobe Acrobat Standard to convert files to PDF. The professional version of...

Thanks for the words of experience. I don't know if I need any yet, as my 105 is due to be delivered here tomorrow. However, I want to be prepared, just in...
... Hello Max. I don't know a great deal about 105s, or in fact ANY band organ, but I've played theatre organ since 1962, and so I do know a little bit about...
Hi Max; I think the player was for something with a -R on it. What I got was pretty smashed up. Someone got tired of paying the storage and posted it on to...
Thanks again, Julie for sharing your experience. This is the greatest thing about these forums - whatever the problem, someone has dealt with it in the past...
Probably something like RJ20, a 3-manual 12(?) rank residence organ. Quite like a theatre organ except for the console, which had straight stop bolsters....

Hi Tom. There are several sources, and OSI is but one. Another is Wicks Organ Company, and there is another, which used to a part of M. P. Moller, and who's...
I bought a complete rank of Vox Humana pipes on ebay for about a dollar a pipe. These are reed pips and I think I can find reeds and shallots that will work...
Reed Parts: Doyle Lane still has some of the sizes of Shallots. He is though out of many sizes necessary for the 105 reeds. Last time I looked, he only had...
Tom; Please check my message #79 posted here. I gave the cost of the reed parts I bought from Organ Supply a few months ago. I am not sure which plans you...
