It is playable, but needs to be regilded. They’re asking $7,500, which seems reasonable.

Thank you so much, Carl! You probably got an email from me yesterday that you can ignore. 😉 I’ll email Venus to see if they have any information as well. I’m glad the sale will be really close to my house so it’s not a big inconvenience to stop in to see the price. I’ll report back what I find out!

I lost my previous post when editing to upload a smaller photo. So, I’m trying again. I have the photo of serial number attached and I’m leaning toward #1235.

I just emailed Howard and Carl, but didn’t know about Bell Harp. I’ll look them up now and send them an email!

That’s a good idea, Charles! I don’t know how many shops would do this type of restoration work, but I have run across two that are known for working on Wurlitzers when doing some research. They might be a good place to start!

Thanks, Paul! That does help 🙂 The soundboard did see a bit off given the size of the instrument. I also found a picture that had part of the number in it, and it appears to be #1233 or #1235. I would think I’d have to play it to see how it sounds to know what it’s worth might be, too.
