Seek Wurlitzer Tracker Bars With Filter Screen
By Lawrence McGowan

Hello!  I am seeking someone who would make for me two Wurlitzer
tracker bars, for Style 165 music rolls, with a backing that would
allow me to remove the tracker bar off the roll system and clean the
screen of paper filings, usually with a silk screen or metal mesh
behind the tracker bar, especially when playing new rolls ordered.

Maybe I am spoiled by the fact that I can do this with our Gavioli
organ that was converted to Style 165 roll music for Playland Park
in Rye, New York.

I did have a person answer me before, but they did not make the
tracker bars that can be taken off to clean the screen in front of the
air tubes.  Since the system I wish to build would be on vacuum and 
not pressure, I would like to have this built-in as an accessory to
keep the flow clean of paper filings gathering up in the air tubes.
Is this something that is too much?  I really don't know.

I am also seeking any B.A.B. music transcribed for Wurlitzer Style 165
rolls.  Any and all information is welcomed.  Thank you very much!

Lawrence McGowan
