Hi, The Brilliant and Treble tone switches are all working but The Medium and Soft make no difference (there is still some sound when all the tone switches are off). Is it likely to be a faulty capacitor on the preamp or could it be down to the switch needing a clean? It sounds great as is but I'm sure I'm missing on some more tones.
The pick up selectors all works and the wiring is as per diagram and appears to be original, nothing seems to be shorting.
If it needs new capacitors, is there anything i should watch out for apart from the value? I'm in the UK, RS components has millions of cap types..
Thanks for any advice.

Hi. I managed to grab a Wurlitzer 200A in london. It sounds great and the action is still good but it has seen better days. It needs 3 new reeds, a sustain pedal and legs.. On top of that the aux out is only producing hiss so far (and not a particulary pleasant one).
The phone out and speakers are OK so I guess it's not something major and I should be able to handle it by myself. Anybody had a similar issue? Any tips or schematics would be really appreciated.
