Wurlitzer 153 Pneumatic Problems
By Jeff Bryner

Hi all,  The snare drum and bass pipe switch fixed my problem, now
I discovered more problems.  My automatic registers only one works.
I ran the test roll through and only heard one pneumatic trigger.
These pneumatics look different than the ones on the stack.

Another problem is a couple pipes aren't speaking now, but when I take
the hose off the pneumatic and blow into it, air comes out the tracker
bar, and when I turn the organ on and take the hose off the pipe sounds.
So, from the hose to the tracker bar is free of obstructions, and from
the pneumatic to the pipe is free also, so why won't the pipe speak
whenever called by the music roll?

The holes on the tracker bar and music roll are adjusted also because
that is what I first thought was wrong.  Is this a common problem or
is it a off-the-wall dilemma?  Thanks!
