Wurly electric tines

[Jonathan Best]

Here's a web site that has the tines: http://www.vintagevibe.com/c-1-wurlitzer-ep-parts.aspx

Wurlitzer called them reeds for some strange reason.  Don't try making  
the tines yourself.  I tried.  It just ain't worth it.  You must use a  
visual tuner to tune these crazy things.  To lower the pitch you add  
solder, to raise you file.
