Hello all, I am writing in today to find out how much interest there
is in Wurlitzer BX parts the museum has before I propose parting it
out.  I cannot ship the parts so they would have to be picked up.

There is a Wurlitzer soundboard and back along with a plate painted
a deep green with gold lettering, a lock and cancel unit, a Wurlitzer
pressure and vacuum pump, transmission, Wurlitzer automatic roll
changer, Wurlitzer keyboard and keys, front and stained glass and a
brand new top section with "Wonder Light" frame (but no Wonder Light).

The cabinet itself is in pieces.  I did a lot of veneering on the
pieces in white quartered oak.  The original sides were cut down to
the top of the pin block.  New sides were provided but they are brown
English oak.  No stack.

I thought I could make a valiant effort to save it and I could but
I have decided that I will never get to it.  I'd like to recoup some of
the money the deceased owner paid for it and wondered if there were any
interest in the parts.

I have no idea what to ask for the parts so if anyone has an idea what
a fair price is please let me know.  The owner bought the machine sight
unseen from a guy in Portland, Oregon, and we were "taken".  I want to
see what interest is generated by this offering and if there is enough
then I will go to the powers that be and ask if I can sell them.

I also have a 146 band organ pressure chest.  Any of you guys that have
built a 105 organ and want something bigger this chest can be restored
or could be used as a pattern to build a bigger organ.

I have a replica Coinola SO case that has the back and Operators Piano
company plate in there, out of a Reproduco Piano Pipe organ.  I don't
know if these plates are interchangeable with other Coinola instruments.
The action is in pieces (I bought it that way) but it has drums, and a
replica Coinola roll frame.

The case was made out of very thin flat cut oak and doesn't open like
a Coinola SO does.  The stained glass is pretty and a fairly close copy
of the original glass, except for the third statue of a nude in the
front instead of the stained glass.  It looks nice in the dark with a
light behind the glass.  You can make a liquor cabinet or whatever out
of it.  I need the space so if no interest is shown in this I will cut
it up in about a week.

Thanks,
