It's a Wurlitzer!


When I was delivering the telescope and mount to our student and his family, his dad wanted to show me something.  The dad is a pretty talented guy, showing me some projects he has done.  And none was more amazing than this.  He found a Wurlitzer in a bar in New York that was covered with twenty years of dirt and grime.  So he completely disassembled the juke box and cleaned every part and then made repairs to the electronics and some of the mechanical parts.  The machine is stunning to behold, and he has it loaded with old 45 RPM records which we played.  You will be thrilled to know that the sound it produces is just stunning.
