There have been several discussions on MMD about Wurlitzer band organ
tracker bars. Some years ago, I purchased a Wurlitzer 105 band organ
at an auction of a carnival that had gone out of business. The tracker
bar on this Wurlitzer is very unique -- I have not met anyone who has
ever seen one like it.
This tracker bar was machined out of a block of clear Plexiglas. I have
no idea who did the work, but it appears that they did quite a good job.
Although the organ needed help badly when purchased, it was sort-of
playing, and the tracker bar, as far as I could tell, was working just
as it should. I have included a number of pictures of this unusual
item. I thought it might be interesting.
