out of tune Wurlitzer

[Jon Page]

Look at the bottom to check for separation. Perhaps the plate
screws are being pulled out and the plate is lifting.
It could be a combination of back separation and plate lifting.

If so, bring the area closed with pipe clamps. remove a screw
and drill for a carraige bolt. Once bolts are in place, slack off a bit and
get glue into the loose back.

If clamps draw well enough, glueing might be done before drilling.

Also look for string seating at hitch pins, just for fun.
