That does sound pretty curious.  Does your sustain pedal assembly have the adjustable leveler underneath it?   On mine, it raises the whole thing up a fair amount (more than an inch) off the floor - see the photo attached.  Without it, the top of my rod wouldn't reach into the piano body either.

My pedal will not connect to the piano. The threaded part that goes inside the bottom of the piano is too short to reach into the piano. It's really bizarre, the part is technically there, but it's not tall enough to reach the threaded bar. Morelock's does not have this part. I have tried finding generic hardware store parts, but no luck. I am baffled. I own this beautiful piece of Wurlitzer history and can only play without a pedal.

What really puzzles me, is why does it have the part, but it's too short? It doesn't look modified.....

OK, so the headphone jack is near the front, under the volume and vibrato sliders, and the line out with trim toward the back.

Blank plug in the headphone jack is a great tip...

That looks fantastic. I really never get tired of seeing nice looking wurlitzers.

I remember there is a line out at the bottom that has a trim dial next to it. And then yes a headphone out.
I often plug in a blank end into the headphone jack to disable the internal speakers when I am using an amplifier.
I believe the 270 functions in the same way as a 200a in this regard.

OMG, two StevenOs with 270s?  I guess I really have come to the right place. 

Yes, I know I got really lucky with this, fully functional pedal and all.  Which part are you missing?

Hi Everyone -

I'm new to the forum and new to the world of honest to goodness EPs.  I've played piano and keyboards for over 30 years, but the only EPs I've caressed have been those replicated digitally. 

I found via craiglist yesterday what appears to be a near-perfect Wurly 270 for a ridiculously low price, so I've brought it home and I'm enjoying it immensely.

I'm hoping some of you experienced hands can provide information on some of its features - I think I'm seeing two output jacks on the bottom, I'm guessing one is a line out and one for headphones?

Thanks!
Steven
