The Wurlitzer Electric Piano / Lacking Sustain in the high end

« on: July 21, 2019, 04:07:09 AM »

Hello, I've got a 200a and I've noticed that the top two and a half/three octaves have very little sustain. This is the case with our without using a sustain pedal. The low end rings out beautifully but things above middle c start to get worse. Any ideas on why this might be?

Also, do you have any recommendations on a tech I could use near Seattle? I don't mind having a professional look at it... If I can find one.

The Wurlitzer Electric Piano / Higher Octaves Have No Sustain

« on: October 08, 2017, 05:28:31 PM »

I just picked up a 200a and the top two octaves have little to no sustain. Do you have any suggestions as to what to look into first? I love these things but I'm very new to rehabbing them. Any tips on what to google/youtube first would be helpful. Most of the search results I've found are about sustain pedals, which is not what I'm after.

The Wurlitzer Electric Piano / Fix Stripped Leg Plate Screw Holes?

« on: October 08, 2017, 05:22:20 PM »

I just got a 200a and the leg plates are loose on the bottom. It looks like a couple of the holes in the bottom of the case are stripped out. What's the best way to fix this? For less important things I've just used toothpicks and wood glue to help give the screw something to grab. Is there a more effective way to fix this? Thanks!
