Seek "Wonder Light" for Wurlitzer C
By Tom Grace

Hi there MMD'rs -- I have a friend who is restoring a Wurlitzer C
and is in need of the wonder light assembly.  Does anyone out there
have any parts for a wonder light, anything would be helpful.

Also, has anyone made reproduction parts or have any drawings?
Anything is better than nothing when you are trying to finish
a machine.  As always, your help is appreciated,

Thomas Grace

 [ Editor's note:
 [
 [ The wonder light is described in Bowers' Encyclopedia
 [ of Automatic Musical Instruments, page 677:
 [
 [  "The 'wonder light' attachment, popular with many different
 [   orchestrion makers in Europe, ... was a Wurlitzer exclusive
 [   in America.  The device consists of a rotating jeweled ball
 [   with a light bulb in the center.  The swirling colors are
 [   reflected in mirrored glass petals which surround the center
 [   unit.  Wurlitzer recommended the wonder light as being 'ideal
 [   for dancing'."
