Seek Photos of Wurlitzer 153 Swell Shades
By Scotty Greene

Many of you will know that the DeBence museum Wurlitzer 153 has no
façade with it.  The story is that when at Idora Park it was behind
a Bruder façade and nobody knows where the original façade went.

We have been given a Style 153 center facade and are restoring it
to decent, not fully original, condition.  This gives us a chance to
install the proper swell shades, which of course we have no parts for.
This gets to the reason for this post.

Can someone please send us pictures of an original Wurlitzer 153
swell shade with enough detail so we can make parts that are correct.
Of course, plans would be even better, but that is probably hoping
for too much.

Thanks for the help,

Scotty Greene - DeBence Museum
