Wurlitzer 200a repair

Can anyone take on a Wurlitzer 200-a repair project ?

Long shot , but thought I'd ask

That is one of the problems of old jukeboxes today. I got a broken one last year, and could never find any one who fixes them anymore. I did find a small electrical repair firm who looked at it. When he did find the fault, it was going to cost loads of money, as I could only find parts in USA. He told me it wasn`t worth it as the circuit boards were pretty fragile as well. I ended up dumping it and buying a working one. They are great things to have. I do hope you get it fixed though. They look really cool and it would be a shame to have to get rid of an old one like that. Mine was an old eighties thing, so I wasn`t that upset, but a Wurlitzer 200 A I would be.

Call me confused - but Google is giving me a keyboard, not a juke?



^^^ oops - found it - possibly worth a Google search for restorers, but it ain't cheap.....

Restoration and repair of vintage gear is my thing. PM me, lojo. I'm assuming it's the piano, but I do jukeboxes too as it happens.

Yes it is a piano

Lol. I thought it was a jukebox. A 200A is still a nice jukebox though ☺

Google a firm called Hammond Hire. They specialise in restoring Hammond organs, Wurlitzer pianos, Rhodes pianos, and have done loads of work on my old synths.
