Wurlitzer Valve Blocks Wanted
By Howard Jensen

If I am not mistaken, didn't someone ask a few months ago whether
anyone was interested in purchasing some Wurlitzer valve blocks (unit
blocks) if a run of them were made?  I have a Wurlitzer Art-Apollo
Reproducing Upright that could use a dozen blocks.  I took the best
ones and moved them to the center.  I sure would like to know what my
rolls sound like with the other forty-eight or so keys playing.

  [ Besides the cheaper (but less carefully crafted) blocks sold by 
  [ PPCo, there are at least two people making them, Robert Loeffler and 
  [ Damian Mayes.  See their postings archived in the MMD Subject
  [ Archives under "blocks."  From time to time Wurlitzer unit 
  [ blocks also appear for sale on eBay, although those probably need
  [ rebuilding.  
  [ Incidentally, why don't you just rebuild those you have?  It's not
  [ difficult, with proper materials and a little know-how.
