The Wurlitzer Electric Piano / Bottom Capstan Screw

« on: May 07, 2019, 08:09:22 AM »

Hello my fellow electric keys enthusiasts,

I am trying to understand the proper setting for the bottom capstan screws on the 200a. Based on the manual it seems like the the bottom capstan screw should be set so each key has 1/32" of wiggle at the tip of the key when resting (Lost Motion Traveling Depth).

Am I understanding this correctly?

Does anyone have a good technique for setting this? E.g. measuring each key's traveling depth with a ruler vs. adjusting to the right feel.

Thanks,
Seanny

The Wurlitzer Electric Piano / Replacing black (vinyl?) strip on the 200A lid

« on: September 11, 2018, 07:36:32 AM »

Hi everyone,

I have been working on restoring a road-worn 200A for a few months now and it has been a blast. I have the keyboard looking pretty good except for a few holes and gaps in black vinyl strip that goes around the perimeter on the metal portion of the lid (see photo attached that I pulled from the web). 

Does anyone know where I can buy replacement material for this? I have not seen it on Vintage Vibe or other vintage EP resources.

Thanks in advance,
-Sean
