Wurlitzer Band Organ Tracker Bar Cleaning
By Jack M. Conway

Dave Miller asks about a Wurlitzer 105 missing notes [220903 MMD].
Not knowing what he has already done I offer this simple check for
missing notes.

The tracker bar has a screen behind it to block paper chaff. Loosen
the knurled nuts on both sides of the tracker bar and lift it off.

Take off the screen and clean it carefully. Leave the screen off
and mount the tracker bar. Using a tracker bar pump, pump the tracker
repeatedly until no chaff shows on the tracker pump screen.

Take the tracker off. Put the screen back on the pins and mount the
tracker bar and tighten it.

This restored missing notes on my Wurlitzer 105.
