[Jukebox-list] 1100 wurlitzer popularity meter wanted

[Jens Hultgren]

>From someone who did a lot of 1100s and 1015s - Victory used to sell colour
sheets that were pale compared to the original (it is actually easy to see
what the original colour was like William says). The purple was pale and the
red was closer to pink.
I complained and voilá Steve made better ones that were close to original.
But now maybe he has switched back to the old printer again?
You'll have to shop around if you're not happy.
 In the meantime I had already found a better product I think from Ed Jones
(Jukebox Junction) Ed would generally have higher quality items simply
because he was also a restorer and used his own repros. Steve Loots quit
restoring in - 1980 perhaps?  ;o)
That said, noone could beat Steve for the size of the catalog and the
amazing number of products. Some of them really good, some acceptable and
some..... All the people in the repro business have contributed immensely to
the hobby. Today we have newcomers (relatively speaking, remember I'm an old
fart) like the Stamanns that amaze me with their energy and their product
line.

   thank you, Jens
