Would like to know about using the AUX out to run thru a PA.

In renting my 200A to a band for concert, they used just a 1/4" mono phone jack with no solder lugs to shunt the 200A's speakers as they sent a line level out of the piano's AUX out. I realize this is common for concert use.

Is this safe to do for the amp's sake to not have a load at the headphone jack or is the AUX out considered a load?

If not, should there be a load resistor on the shorting jack?

Or is everything copacetic?

What is happening when holding down the sustain pedal on a 200A, the notes randomly disappear when striking a key? The hammers do not hit the reeds consistently.

Does anyone have info on the "power supplies" used on these Wurli home spinets or how they are powered? Are parts available to get these to work again?

I am not really that up to date on the different models but have been reading. Here is an 88 key suitcase with a "Rhodes" logo, curved top. How many pin, what preamp and amp would this be, year of probable manufacture and model?

Would like to know what the consensus is on the key preference. The longer boards or the shorter? Searched the archives could not find any recognizable info.
