The Wurlitzer Electric Piano / 120 model, not far off
« on: April 01, 2021, 01:04:06 AM »
Hi all,
Finally, after getting rid of a 112 model 16 years ago (stupidly), I have purchased another Wurly. A 120 model! I am absorbing all the old posts here best i can. Few questions:
1. Death cap, which one is it? And do you just snip it out, or do you have to bridge a connection from where its cut? This amp is fairly quiet and i fear changing the tone by recapping it. Maybe just the power supply caps are worth replacing?
2. Damper rail - can i just take it all off at once? If so, how? I need to get to the reeds to clean any corrosion on a couple notes that don't naturally sustain long enough. I feel like in my old 112 it was easier to access.
3. Seems like when i blast the volume past 90%, the speaker lightly overloads and not in the good way only while played. However, i feel the new speaker replacement could help.
As far as the action, its pretty darn enjoyable as is. It was lightly used by a lady in a country western band in the 60s/70s!
