In the Flash gallery below, you’ll see a collection of photographs detailing our restoration process.
As you can see, we tear them completely apart to work our magic. Replacing worn parts and making all the fine adjustments that have all but worn away over the years.
The result is a dynamic and well balanced instrument, returned to way it was new, but with the added benefit of our replacement electronics.
Why replacement electronics? Better tone of the earlier models via a real full voltage vacuum tube preamp, plus reliability that the original amplifier simply can’t touch.
They are like no other Wurlitzer you have ever played!

Ted you are a god! Got my Wurlitzer back last Wednesday and already got it into a few recording sessions. It sounds AMAZING! Looks AMAZING! Feels amazing to play! Best investment of my life… Thanks to you and all at Speak Easy Vintage Music for doing a great job!
Best,
Phil

Exactly $0.00 – we don’t rebuild the original circuit boards, as a result of age they can’t be trusted to keep working which is why we came out with our own board to replace the original electronics.

How much would it cost for you to rebuild the amp for my 200A?

None I’m afraid. Other then shipping it to us I don’t know who would be qualified in Bulgaria.

Hi Ted,
I have a Wurlitzer 200A, it’s working fine and it needs a full restoration to be completely reliable, but I’m in Bulgaria and there is no support for it. Could you give me any option?
Thanks,
Ivo

$40 to $80 to evaluate it. We really can’t say more without seeing it first hand.

The fact that your breaking reeds like this tells me that while it may be in excellent shape, it is in need of adjustment. Not that you can’t break reeds on a well regulated piano, you can, but it happens more when things are out of adjustment. This is normal as the piano wears from use – left undone the troubles will continue.
I don’t think it would be a good idea to plan on this “while you wait”, but if you got it to us, we should be able to install the new reeds, tune and voice them, and re-regulate the action in a week or so.

Hello! Awesome site you have here…very helpful! I am a touring musician, and am having my Wurlitzer 200A degrade on me…I know it is very unlikely to tour with one of these nowadays, but I just can’t help it. Anyhow, several of the reeds have cracked and broken and I have about 7 notes that no longer play. Would you be able to repair this for me? Other than the reeds, it is in excellent shape, so I do not need a full restoration. Any info is helpful! Thanks!
