Hi, I recently looked at a Style 125 Wurlitzer-DeKleist band organ
that is needing a total overhaul. The valves looked like they were
made up by hand with felt and a leather punching glued on top of
that.
Are these valves supposed to have felt backing up the leather, and
if so, what kind would it be? Also, I think someone may have altered
the bleed size; does anyone know what they are supposed to be? The
bleeds seem large to me.
I also have a 165 tracker bar, a machined 165 crank, believe it is
cast iron, 146 pipe chest and duplexing chest. No pipes.
Thanks,
Tony Marsico
