Wurlitzer/Samick case repair

[Clyde Hollinger]

Patrick,

Webb Phillips, RPT (215-491-3045) sells a wood rebuilder kit.  I've never used
it, but I've seen him demonstrate it at conventions and it might fill the bill
for you.  If you decide to go this route I would definitely suggest doing some
experimenting on scraps before trying it on something important.  Others may
have better suggestions.
