200 series effects loop

Just a random musing about Wurly modifications. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on this.

I am likely going to buy the Warneck amp for my 206A.

I don't think it's wise to spend money to add vibrato to the existing amp (which would need some other rehabbing like new electrolytics), so I think a new amp is just the smarter route.

However, looking through Vintage Vibe for other parts (the sustain cable is broken), I ran across their preamp and amp PCB.

This gave me the idea of replacing it with the VV amp, and inserting an effects loop between the preamp and main amp boards.

Has anyone tried this or something similar?

Any thoughts or comments welcome. I'm not sure I'll try this, but it seems worth thinking about.

Worked perfect for me! I put the jack underneath the keyboard though, in that large hole wires used to pass through on the left underside.

Use a Switchcraft 14B and short the "Shunts" together. This way, the signal still passes without something plugged in.

Thanks. Nice write up. This is exactly along the lines of what I was thinking.
