Wurlitzer Tracker Bar of Solid Brass
By Christian Wittmann

Making a tracker bar of acrylic plastic is a good alternative solution
if you have an accurate drill press and a compound table.  I made the
tracker bar for my Wurlitzer 105 band organ the same way -- by drilling
the holes -- but I used a piece of solid brass, which is more stable
than plastic.

I first drilled the holes for the front row, then the holes for the
hose connectors, and finally a row of holes at right angle to connect
the holes of front and back side, which I then closed with small brass
bolts.  I sent photos to show that this method works well too.

Best regards,
Christian Wittmann
