I have uploaded some photos (see Christian's 105) and a drawing (PDF file 'W105crankshaft_welded.pdf') on how I made the crankshaft for my organ. You can see...
Before I go to ebay... Does anyone on the group need one or more of these pulleys? I have three and will sell for 1/2 of the cheapest price you can find on the...
The 105 I got has remnants of a gallery or pediment.? You can see roughly 3/4" "blemish" in the top piece that runs from one end to the other, and also a whole...
Art, There are some drawings of a cymbal beater you can download from this website. The drawings are in a "Files" link in the tan box at the left of the...
Hi, List. The drawings by Bob Humes are GREAT, and are a much better design than the original cymbal I've got. Since the wood on my base and pneumatic is so...
Has anyone added bells to their 105? Is this COAA Article of any use? Adding Bells to a Band Organ using a Pitman Chest, Wasson, David; #16, p 12. Any other...
I am very interested in adding bells, and intended to have a t-piece in the tubing from the back of the roll frame on the same channels as the piccolos leading...
Hello, Michael. I can't give you any direct advice, but I will simply caution you NOT to confuse vacuum and pressure, as it relates to air usage! The vacuum...
Depending on the design, bells can be real air hogs. Seems like the best and safest solution is to increase the air supply to handle them which you could do by...
There is plenty of vacuum in a Wurlitzer 105 pump to play the bells as well as the organ notes. I have seen it done. There was a 105 in Oklahoma City that...
Did any of you see this auction on ebay? Anything of interest for us builders? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&i\ ...
That is a bell or xylophone action for a Theater organ. I don't see any Wurlitzer solenoids so I don't think it is wurlitzer. These are usually 49 note...
These are Robert Morton actions. They came from Bella Roma pizza. I used to work in this restaurant until they foreclosed last November. They may have come...
Now that Player Piano Company is no longer in business, I am looking for a source for the upper stamped metal discs for the wurlitzer unit valve blocks. They...
I rebuilt a 105 suing zephyr skin on the valves about ten years ago. The organ was in the center of a carousel that was in a building made for it. The floor...
I will be facing this same problem shortly with the complete rebuild of the 105. I don't know how thin these upper valve covers are, or if they warp if...
I strongly suspect that in time most of the popular, high demand parts supplied by PPCo will be picked up by other. Although PPCo staff made many of the...
This is actually a question to Bob Humes about his excellent plans for the vacuum pump, but it is generic enough to perhaps be of interest to others. I was...
I have a bunch of pumps, I bought back in the year 2000 from an estate. In addition over the years I have been looking at a large number of different organs,...
If you are looking for a complete set of other than Metric drills, some of the tool suppliers have a set available with a steel case that includes Number...
Hi Michael, Julie's comments are sadly right on the mark. We probably know more about what manufacturing processes Wurlitzer used and what materials they used...
Poplar is cheaper, lighter, and somewhat more dimensionally stable than maple. It will be easier to drive screws into, but may hold them less well if it's a...
The Joyland Mammoth here in Wichita has poplar construction throughout all components such as the vacuum and pressure pumps, windchests, pipe ties, lock and...
A couple of years ago I had a batch of the pouch rings made. They were quite nicely done. They were one piece and 1/8" thick just like the originals, not...
I do not need any at the moment but have big plans! I will go for 200 to have in stock if it will help get this order off the ground! I have begun to be...
