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.
