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

[Michael Fulk]

Thank you, but I don't think I'll have any fun with it, as I said, to me it sounds really cheesy........would it sound good, or better thru a Leslie.....on slow, I guess......or a PR-40?

It is at my sister-in-law's house, as it sounds better to her than her doubly cheesy, and cheap Yamaha Piano...which doesn't even have sustain!

  I would the say the purchase was worth it - if only based on the fact that you can't really buy very much for $35!

  I've been dragging a Wurly around instead of a Rhodes lately. Much lighter. Doesn't have the bite of a Rhodes - but it does have a much nicer and more consistent action (although I must admit that the Wurly I have is really mint - was bought from a recording studio).

  Have fun with the new acquisition!

    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?
