Wurly electric tines

[Thomas Cole]

There are some sources for the tines, not cheap but probably the only 
way to solve the problem. Tuning is a bit touchy, especially in the 
treble. Add or remove solder to get it close if it's way off, and then 
tighten or loosen the fixing screw for the fine tuning. You might want 
to experiment with moving the tine and then tightening the screw first 
to see what your adjustment range is.

If it needs any regulation, check for tightness in the centers, 
especially in Hawaii. Go to:
