Rebuilding Wurlitzer Photoplayer Style O
By Steve Grattan

Hi all,  I am rebuilding a Wurlitzer Style O Photoplayer.  I have
fabricated and covered with leather the internal 4-lung vacuum pump.
It pulls 60 inches of vacuum.  The problem is that it doesn't create
enough "volume" of vacuum to run the stack and other valves.  Any
suggestions?  What am I missing?

Can anyone tell me the names on the 19 1/2-inch buttons on the
Wurlitzer Style O keyslip?  Most of mine are readable but there are
four that are not.  I also suspect that some of them are in the wrong
order as some are on upside down.

Also, does anyone have any kind of tubing diagram?

Thank you all in advance.
