Seek Leather for Wurlitzer 125 Band Organ
By Kevin Mayes

First, a big thank you to everyone who responded to my previous
questions about the Wurlitzer 125 [131213 MMDigest].  As is often in
life, other things come up and I have had to be away from this project
but am now back to working on it.

One quick question: I seem to have a leak on what I believe is the
large dump valve on top of the pressure bellows.  The valve is shaped
like a paddle and is centered between the large springs on the top of
the bellows, held in place by a steel spring.  I would like to replace
the material on the paddle but am unsure as to what it is or the best
adhesive to use.  It looks like a piece of suede.

Any help from you folks who are more experienced than I would be
appreciated.  Thank you again and please continue the good work of
restoring and renewing people's interest in these great instruments.
