Anyone have a DVD copy of The Rhodes Method laying around for sale!? I would really like to pick one up!!!!!

Where can I get Wurlitzer 140b knobs!?

How do you re-felt the hammer tips in a 140b!? I know about re-shaping, but some of the felts are down to the wood!! Is there anyplace to just get new tips all together?!

THANKS!!!
