Wurlitzer Organ Crankshafts by Bob Ryesky
By Bill Black

Some time ago I had crank castings made for the Wurlitzer 105 (belt
driven type) and the Wurlitzer 153 organ.

Bob Ryesky's machine shop in Carlisle, PA, has fabricated a fixture
which allows him to machine these crankshafts.  These finished cranks
are now available from Bob.  Unmachined cranks are also available.

A finished crank for the Wurlitzer 105 version with the cast in pulley
machined is available for $445.  If you don't plan to use the belt
drive, it's not necessary to machine the pulley and the cost is less,
$395.  The finished Wurlitzer 153 crank is $395.

Shipping is not included.  Previous folks who bought unmachined cranks
from me can have them machined by Bob for about $325.

Bob can also fabricate the split ring gear set for the 153 style
cranks.
