Hi Sean,

First of all, thank you for the wealth of information that you've provided me with. As a side note, I picked up the multimeter you suggested... you know, to replace the one I lost ;)

Just for some clarification on the points you specified, I have a few questions:

To get these replacement parts, such as the electrolytic converters and rectifier diodes, would it be best to just get one of the Vintage Vibe Wurli Amp Repair kits ($42) or source the parts individually? Should I replace the "death cap" with a piece of wire or just take it out? Lastly, when testing voltages (with everything plugged in) are there any precautions I should take to avoid electrocution/accidentally frying something?

Again, thank you for the help!

Hi all,

By the sheer grace of God, I was given a Wurlitzer 200A yesterday. According to the kind gentleman who had it before me, he found it on the curb and played it for a while before a power surge during a thunderstorm rendered the instrument inoperable. I plan to attempt a repair myself, but wanted to consult y'all for some guidance on troubleshooting before getting my hands dirty. I'm pretty handy with a soldering iron, but my knowledge of circuitry is rudimentary at best. Any help or pointers that y'all could give would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
