I wish I had plans for one, does that count? Actually, I have some
plans that were reproduced from old Robert Morton shop drawings, but they
are far, far from complete plans for a console.
Kenny Crome in Reno has been building Wurlitzer and Robert Morton consoles,
but I doubt that he is making his plans available for home builders. Kenny's
phone number is (702) 852-1080.
Rich Menacho (707-468-5927) has built Wurlitzer replica consoles. Rich's
father built the Wurlitzer replica consoles for Devtronix. In fact, you
might call Ray DeVault (916-971-9074) to purchase plans for his 'Paramount'
small-scale Wurlitzer replica console.
I just heard that there is a company in Johnson City, Tennessee, that
builds replica consoles for anything--even including a replica of the
Mormon Tabernacle console!
I have a Wurlitzer metal diaphone chest that I need resonators for. I've
been thinking about having the Jerome Meyer company make them, but I haven't
a clue about what they would cost.
