I would like to have my own Wurlitzer 125 Band Organ tracker bar
machined, as I don't think I could find an original for sale. Has
anyone ever tried to machine a tracker bar?
Also, I noticed that on the Wurlitzer 125 tracker bar how the holes were
not very aligned straight across. Could anyone explain this and tell me
what each hole was for? Specifically, I want to know if there was a
designated hole for the ON/OFF of the mechanism.
I was very impressed with the arrangements on a Wurlitzer 125 Military
Band Organ which was running on rolls made by Playrite in the early
1980s. I heard the same 125 style roll on a 1912 Carousel with
xylophone, pipes, and drums.
I also heard the 125 roll on another machine which had a bunch of
horns facing you when you looked at it. It was about the size of a
refrigerator and it had lights on the front. Both machines were marked
as being manufactured in North Tonawanda, NY. I have yet to contact the
restorers or owners.
