Hi All,
Regarding the 'pistons' in the tracker bar of the Wurlitzer Solenoid
Players, DL Bullock writes:
"Each hole has a perfectly formed rubber piston with a square on one
end that fills the tracker bar hole so that when at rest the rubber
comes within a thousandth or so of touching the paper."
I was always under the impression that the pistons were made of a carbon
compound. The book calls the substance Delrin. Does anyone know what
Delrin is?
And the contact bar was supposedly coated with gold for long life and
minimum corrosion.
Musically,
