FS: Barrel Removed from Wurlitzer Band Organ
By Blaine Warner

Hi Guys & Gals,  While cleaning out the upper floor of my garage
I found an old Wurlitzer band organ barrel along with the fingers
[key frame] for it.  The barrel axle has 10 slots or grooves.
What I have is --

(a) the barrel, 36" in length and about 10" in diameter,
(b) the finger rail with 44 fingers,
(c) the slide the barrel rests on,
(d) all the hardware for holding the barrel in place along with the
    hardware from the side of the case which latches the barrel when
    you shift it,
(e) the outside piece that covers the hole where the barrel slides in.

When this organ was converted to play paper music rolls it figured
to be closer to a Wurlitzer 150 scale than a 125 scale.  If I remember
right the organ had 101 pipes.

If there is interest, the price is right!  I am 79 years old now and
after I leave I would hate to see the barrel used to keep someone warm.
