  Wurlitzer 165 catalog
All evidence points to the conclusion that Wurlitzer originally viewed the 165 roll market in the same fashion as record manufacturers view their market today: buyers want the hit tunes of the moment, and rapid turnover is good for everybody.
The reason we suggest that Wurlitzer might have begun with roll 6505 is that there are a few cases we know of where the company began a roll series with the fifth number in the series.
In this connection it is interesting to note that, when Wurlitzer jumped from the 6500 series to the 6600 series in issuing 165 rolls, it seems to have begun not with roll 6600 or 6601, but with roll number 6605.

The Wurlitzer was in some ways relatively similar to the Rhodes regarding it's construction and it's design, but it was also in many ways different.

The Wurlitzer proved to be useful in more pop and rock oriented music were the Wurlitzer's thicker and rougher tone easily could be used as a replacement to the guitar.

But until progressives develop the institutions and the arrangements needed simply to get into the debate -- to be able to present ideas, broadcast them, echo them, and defend them against the assault from the right -- our politics will be driven and degraded by the institutional forces Brock describes.
