Seek Pump for Wurlitzer Player Theater Organ
By Phil Underwood

Hello,  I was given your e-mail address by someone who thought you
can help me.  I own a Wurlitzer player Theatre organ.  I am in need of
either an original bellows-type vacuum pump or the plans for one.  I am
hoping that you can give me some information.

I have tried the theatre organ people but they seem to think that I
should just install a vacuum cleaner on it and leave it at that.  I do
have plans for a pump from the band organ group but I do not know if it
is the correct size.

Any help would be much appreciated.  It is the only part I need for the
player.

The organ is on the web at  www.theatreorgans.com/wurlitzer.471/

Thanks for your help.
