[HAM] OT,,,,,,,WURLOTZER ELECTRIC PIANO

[Michael Fulk]

I recently acquired a Wurlitzer Electric Piano, Model 200A, from a
Senior Center, (where I have lunch for $3.00 every day), for $35.00,Vibrato
doesn't work, no power cord, half-broken, but playable B Flat key on lowest
octave.  and some screws missing.
It does play well but w/o much power......teeny speakers in it.
Amp looks very simple and low wattage.

Janice in Rienzi, Mississippi says she can replace parts and send
schematic[$18.00 for schematic alone!!!] for $45.00.

QUESTIONS

1. I am guessing that the vibrato will be a snap to fix; is this latter
correct?

2. Was the purchase worth it?..........I have seen and heard them in Rock n'
Roll bands, and I think that they sound positively cheesy.

3. If I buy the schematic and parts, I will have $80.00
in it.   Does any body think I can sell it for enuf to at least recover my
investment?
TIA,
M. Fulk

Yo, kip, drop me a line, I have an entire set (+/-) of tines for my wurli
200. I may be able to make a deal, if I have what you need. And I think that
guy wants 15-20$ for the tines, which is ridiculous.

Yo,
Do any of you guys have any experience dealing with Vintage Vibe. I've
emailed the guy 4 times, got one reply, and still can't buy two lousy
Wurlitzer tines off of him. Is it me? Do I need a shower or something?
