Does anyone have any info on the vibrato circuit in a rhodes and how hard they are to repair once out.  I am contemplating buying a rhodes that is in pretty good shape except for the vibrato circuit doesn't work.
Thanks for any insight!

It's usually a tech that has to fix this unless you're well inclined electronically.

Both 4pin and 5 pin suitcase models have their vibrato troubles.  You might want to try to factor that into the buying price and have a tech fix it ... might cost between $100-$300 depending on tech in US.
