Restoring DeCap Jazz Band Organ
By John Coombs

Hi -- I have a DeCap Jazz Band organ that I would like to restore but
I have never undertaken anything like this in the past.  I have no
idea at present where to obtain leather or parts for the valves, etc.,
so really I am looking for any help I can get.  Can you recommend any
books that I could read or give advice to me on the subject?

I have a good knowledge of wood working but I know little about leather
valves and how to go about restoration.  Can you be of any help to me
or point me in the direction to obtain knowledge on the subject?
