Wurlitzer 125 Band Organ Transmission & Drums
By Ken Vinen

I would appreciate some measurements to help me in the restoration of
my Wurlitzer 125 band organ.  If any reader has an organ they can take
measurements from, or has done a similar rebuilding job, I need to know
the following:

1.  What is the proper outside diameter of the (2) leather drive wheels
on a Wurlitzer transmission?

2. What are the dimensions of the snare drum used on a Wurlitzer band
organ, both the diameter and the depth?

All help is welcome.  I would hate to make and re-make those leather
drive wheels on an experimental basis.

Thank you all

Ken Vinen, Stratford, Ontario, Canada.
