And I would say it would still be worth that if not much more today if on the sales block!!!

I may be able to help I have a few rhodes, pm me with pics of what you have and we can talk......

They are gone are they posted anywhere else???

Yeah you can get info on how to fix those issues here and there are a few youtube videos on how to replace pick ups etc,,,,, its an hours job to solve all the issues you listed..... Enjoy

Ditto they are great amps I was looking for one years ago before I upgraded to a suitcase so in the long term you will not go wrong but I do not know I have seen some deals on fully functioning ones lately with this economy, when people have to decide between their gear and roof over their head, the decision is pretty clear whats on the auction block, so you could find one at a great price in working condition......

Same here I was gong to buy it but he wanted pick up in person and I live a ways away, next time though....

Not bad I picked mine up for $500 though so you are not too far off...

LOL I agree!!!!!!

HOT, I just got an 82 Mark II a couple weeks ago I will post my pics in the next few days, enjoy her, they are wonderful instruments.

One of the greatest Hammond clones out there IMO....

Here is another one I just picked up.....

Here is  a pics of my beloved rhodes, I sold it last month but got a MINT Suitcase Mark II and Mark I stage yesterday pics to come of the Mark II.

Ebay is not always a bad spot I have sold a few on ebay and recently one to a Guy in Western Australia, key point buy from an experienced seller who has sold and shipped international.  You want it to be packed well and shipped with a responsible carrier. Good luck PM if any questions I have a few for sale now...

Thanks

P.S. Here's the text of his email and the best of the pics:

Hey, here are some pictures of a 1979 Rhodes Mark 1 Stage 73 that I did some custom work on.  I retolexed the keyboard in white, painted the top white, and painted the hardware gold.  For my first tolex/paint job ever, I think it came out alright.  The amp in the pictures is a custom amp that I built, but the cabinet was all done by Mojo Musical Supply.   Hope you guys like it.

WOW!!!!!!

Wow and heir to the family,  I would love to have that poster in my studio........  Maybe its one of a kind or last of its kind, most folks around that era probably threw that stuff out.....

That orange Rhodes is for sale at a music store in a suburb south of me.  I have to get down to look at it.  They want $2,000 for it.  It started off much higher, but doesn't seem to be selling.  I think they have hit rock bottom on the price!  I seem to remember the original custom restoration cost 2 or 3 times that with custom orange Anvil case?  Looks like a nice piano, fun color at least.

Rob, your new home piano looks remarkable!  Incredible shape, how does it sound?

Yeah its at Music Go Round, I have been eyeing for a while but that price is TOOO high for me but its a winner....  It gets my vote

Ok here's my Rhodes stuff:

Where o where did you get that poster.....

Hi I thought I'd post mine. I have a Mark 1 73 Stage Rhodes. This was like 5 years in the making. Actually I fixed it around 2002.

I re-did the tolex to a the blonde color. And the harp cover..well that's a long story. I tried to do the sparkle top but it wasn't working. The top gloss coat was peeling off so I tried to redo the sparkle but it started looking like crap. Then I decided to just get some thin "furry" fabric, slap it on the cover and call it a day. And I must say I am happy with it.

I got this for about $400 but it is missing the push rod, sustain pedal, the crossbar and the case cover (which I'll get all later well except for the case cover). But everything works after a lot of cleaning and fixing the tines and pickups. I just need to solder one wire back on.  





hmm needs a cleaning there. lol

WOW Lovely you should share these for your vote of HOTTEST Looking Rhodes Thread

MAN Great pics, I sold both of mine years ago but hey for old time sake.....  Here goes, looking to get another one this month.

Hello all I am new to this site, and am an avid player and lover of the Fender Rhodes - One of the great instruments of the 70"s IMO.  I thought it would be great to post some pics of Fender Rhodes with honorable mention to the most unique looking ones.  Here is my vote.

MAN What a beauty!!!  I sure wish I did not sell my babies, Had a stage and suitcase see thread on rhodes pics and stories :cry:  Young and Dumb!!!!

So what would a Mark II 73 stage piano weigh?  I am hoping i can take it on the plane and pay the extra fee.
