Hi Jerrold,  After some deliberating, I decided it was easier to scan
all of the Wurlitzer 1203 Technical Notes I have and upload them to my
server.  For easy access and viewing, I created a web page and listed
the subject of each note and linked it to the associated image file.
There are eight files and each one is an average of 138 kilobytes.

Each picture can downloaded to your computer by clicking the right
mouse button and selecting 'Save Image As...'.  (Remember where you
saved it).  Then open the file in any graphics or photo album program
and print it out from there.  Be sure to check the printer and page
setups before printing so the printer uses the whole piece of paper.

The tech notes cover the period from 1972-1980.  I am missing notes
No.  1 and No. 4, so if anyone has those notes, please send them to me
and I'll add them to the list.  The web page is located at

  http://www.player-care.com/wurlnote.html

If the editors of the MMD would like to put the image files into the
Archives, I'd be happy to send them along.

Musically,

 [ Thanks for the offer, John.  I'll contact you about details.
