Sorry Bill, I didn't see your post until after I sent mine. Since we used to be a Wurlitzer dealer, I still see a few of these old players. I didn't know Morelock had moved. Do you have any idea where?

When Wurlitzer stopped building players perhaps a decade ago, they sold all the leftover parts to Morelock's Organ Service in Mississippi. I have their address and phone number at a different location and can get it in three days if you need it. You may not need it. I ran into a Wurlitzer spinet last year where the blower was not working. The motor was a 115 volt AC motor (I think you will find that the 4.5 volts is for the solenoids) that had set so long that the bearings set up and therefore blew the fuse when trying to run it. What worked for me was: 1. to get the blower loose and free up the bearings. If I remember correctly, all I had to do was get a few drops of oil into the bearings, spin the armature a few times; and 2. to find the blown fuse and replace it. It was not set up for easy replacement, but was soldered with wire leads inside the metal chassis that the blower was sitting on top of. I chose to get a fuse holder, leave it out where I could replace if I blew one, and wired it into the circuit. Hope this helps.
