Does anybody know if any plans for Wurlitzer's 153 exist or anyother bandorgan model other than the 105? I would like to build a 153 since it has the glock...
Hi all, This isn't related to the 105, but I am looking for some springs for my resevior. I am missing two out of the six and not getting enough pressure to ...
Springs, There are a number of spring manufacturers in the larger cities. The only one I have ever delt with was Paramount Spring Co. in Paramount, ...
What kind are they? Standard leaf springs? What size and pressure. I have boxes full of those, but I need a sample to match length and pressure. Doug L....
Check the Yellow Pages for spring manufacturers. When I lived in St. Louis I went to an outfit called, I think, St. Louis Spring. They were happy to make new...

Dear Jeff, In 1986 Vestal Press published my book "Building an Electronic Band Organ." It is in great detail about a 125. The electronics are no longer...
Hi Jeff; I am in the process of fixing up some pipes to put into a 146 style organ. Slowly I am building up a model in a CAD program of 146 information. I...

Tom, Mine are from beech and some from Maple. I did not put any finish in the holes or on the feet themselves. My organ has been finished for several years now...
Speaking of band organ feet... What are the standards (if any) for the sizes and tapers of band organ feet? What do people use to cut the female tapers in the...

Hi Craig and others; I have been told that it is not necessary to taper the inside of the hole on the riser board. I think it was Bill Black who told me this....

Craig and All, I have never seen taperd holes in commercial band organs. But they don't hold very good either. Here is what I will do and I have tested the...
While most nickelodeons and band organs I have worked on had no burned toe holes, burning them does two things. It makes the hole airtight as it cauterizes...
Something I realized with the discussion on burning pipe toes. I had the top of my Caliola windchest cut by laser. This had the effect of burning the edge of...
Hello everyone. I am going with a taper, as it seems to me that this makes sense as you will still be able to seat a pipe even after some wear occurs. With a...
