Wurlitzer errata

[Ron Nossaman]

I know, the subject line is probably redundant, but I have a couple of
things here. One might even be useful.

The non-useful item: The one I tuned yesterday had bridge pins sticking up
6mm from the cap. Eventually I'll find one that is higher than that Francis
Bacon duplex was long.

The potentially useful one: Remember those Wurlitzer benches, with the nut
embedded in the corner and the long leg stud screwing into it from the
bottom? Remember how the legs are always bent, and the inside corners that
the leg is supposed to seat against are crushed because they didn't support
the entire surface of the leg top? Remember how tightening these legs up
again did no good at all, even after you straightened the bent stud,
because of the crushed wood? Three drywall screws, one each in the bottom
of the sides at the crushed edges where the leg is no longer supported, and
one out in the bottom of the bench (but still into the corner brace inside)
where the leg was otherwise supported by nothing at all. Drive them in
level with the bottom of the bench sides to make three little jack stands
to screw the leg back down against. Instant solidity. Gluing a piece of
maple the right thickness into that corner would have done same thing, and
probably better, but I didn't happen to have a woodworking shop with me at
the time, and I always carry drywall screws.
