Seek Wurlitzer Style 'O' Foot Pedals
By Steve Grattan

Hi all,  I am restoring a Wurlitzer Style 'O' One Man Orchestra.
I am in need of four of the foot pedals that are used for some of the
sound effects.  The backing plates are made of pot metal and are not
repairable.  If anyone has any of these for sale, please contact me.

Also, the vacuum bellows on this machine are covered with bellows
cloth, at least partially, and then covered with leather.  Is this
a cobble-job as it looks, or was this the way it was made?  I cannot
tell -- the instrument was in water at some time and a mouse or two
created tunnels through the bellows unit and it must be refabricated
from scratch.  Any advice would be welcome!
