[Jukebox-list] Wurlitzer 1400 pilasters ? for Oliver Stamann

[Jjmscf at aol.com]

I'm just curious if  you guys ever plan on making pilasters on making 
pilasters for the Wurlitzer 1400? There's been a little discussion about it on the 
Wurlitzer group. Seems they all have cracking pilasters from what I can tell. 
Every 1400 I see on ebay has cracked pilasters.
 
I know the 1400 isn't the most popular juke from a collector's standpoint but 
we used to have Ken Arnold making them for Victory Glass. I'm no. 16 on the 
backorder list now and it's doubtful if he's going to make another batch.Seems 
he has lost interest in making jukebox parts as his screen printing and sign 
business is much more lucrative.
 
Other parts made by him have disappeared also. He stopped making Seeburg SS 
160 glasses. Denny from Victory Glass  told me when I sent a set of crazing new 
Seeburg R"100" emblems back  that he was sending me the best he had  as 
replacements which I am happy with,but that Ken arnold was not going to make any 
more and once they were gone they were gone.
 
Looks like the makers of repro jukebox parts is dwindling at leasty here in 
the US. I guess it's because the economy is tanking over here and people have 
less discretionary money to spend on "toys" like jukeboxes.There's boats 
(another toy)for sale everywhere around here because people can't afford to go out 
on them. Boating is one of the favorite pastimes in my area. 
 
I hope you guys stick around for a long time making parts.I've gotten a few 
items from your website and they are excellent quality.
