Looking at the salvaged 46-note wooden trackerbar (from an Estey Organ
w/take-up spool 9 3/16 width) the thin channel walls are sandwiched
between the top and bottom.
One could either separate the two and replace the walls -- which would
be a monumental task since they are also glued into each side -- or cut
the front off and make a new tracker face which has holes drilled to
mate with the channels.
You get all the good jobs...

PS: Trackerbar and spool has collected dust here long enough and
is available to collect dust someplace else.
