I'm repairing an early model Wurlitzer 200A and want to replace the faulty speakers.
From what I can tell, this model originally had its speakers mounted to the chassis, as is done with the 200, instead of in the lid as with most 200A's.
A previous owner removed the brackets - messy, see attached image - and then installed some non-Wurli speakers in the lid by drilling holes that do not match the standard 200A speakers.
Unless of course this 200A originally had smaller speakers installed in the lid, which I think is far less likely; this also wouldn't explain the bracket installation/removal from the chassis.
Anyway, I'm considering drilling 8 new holes and installing the new speakers in the lid. Manufacturing and installing new brackets seems like a daunting task.
If anyone has any suggestions regarding this I'm all ears!
If I drill the holes I might get some plastic hole plugs to fill the old ones. Either that or fill them with black dyed epoxy.
Thanks
