Wurlitzer Organ Vacuum Fails When Bells Play
By Gordon Forcier

Hello Everyone,  I have a problem with my Wurlitzer 153 band organ
when it hits the down scale of "Cotton-eyed Joe".  On the down scale
at the middle of the song, when the bells turn on, half way through
the down scale the vacuum drops off completely.  I am wondering if
anyone else with a 153 has this problem.  I am thinking that it might
be loose valves on the bell system.  Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated.

Keep them rolls rolling, or the MIDI systems popping!
