[Jukebox-list] Wurlitzer 1050 sound

[Julie Mitchell]

John and Ron,

Thank you again, very much appreciated !!

I will check with my repair guy to see if he can look at it, otherwise
John I will contact you about sending out to your shop.  I did have a
look at the link you sent, it I suspect the amp has been upgraded,
since the 1.25A fuses have been added.  But, since I am not the
original owner, I don't have a complete history of it.

Thanks again, and a good weekend to all.

-Julie
