Seriously, this will be just the beginning - the years have been unkind to the original electronics which is why we developed the SE-W245 board to replace those electronics. Every piano we touch gets one, you just can't rely on the old circuitry anymore. Take the board out and throw it away!

Could you please offer me advice on how to trouble shoot this problem? The AUX OUT on my 200A stopped working recently. Could you please offer me advice on how to trouble shoot this problem?

Trickiest part would be the AUX OUT, as it's soldered to pins on the original board, and we use an RCA jack, so you have to solder an RCA Plug (provided) to the original shielded cable...

I've got got some electronic experience, I modded my Leslie tube amp to solid state relay with a stationary setting keeping the actual tube amp as was. Would it it also generate the tremelo and work on UK 240V? Thanks. Hi, how easy is it to install one of your wurli vacuum tube amp units at home in an ep200 were I to buy one?

Why? Well, you're case (obsolete parts) is one example, others are that once you do replace those transistors there may be more damage, the fact that those old boards are poorly made and fragile (or at least have become so over the years), and tend to be noisy (another symptom of age). We use an all new replacement of our own design - <a href="http://www.shopspeakeasy.com/shopdata/go.shopscript?a=SE-W245" rel="nofollow">You can see it here</a>. Good luck on your hunt, but if you can't turn up replacements OR you have a change of heart, let us know. We take those amplifiers and throw them away. Why?
