Up for sale, a 1960s Wurlitzer model 146 in excellent condition and in perfect working order. This 146 has been fully serviced, ensuring optimal function of the amplifier and proper regulation and tuning. The precursor to the 200 series, the 146 has a similar solid-state driven amp, delivering a familiar warmth, grit, and bell-like tone. Topping things off, the 146 model has an on-board tremolo effect with controls on the bass-side cheek block.
A deeper dive on the servicing comprises a full action regulation, new damper grommets, a full amp rebuild (electrolytic caps, select resistors, new transistors, and rectifier diodes), adding a Line Out via the speaker jack, an updated three-prong IEC power cable receptacle, and a full tune/voice of all the reeds. The amp has a low noise floor, retaining the original transformer. Controls include Volume and Vibrato (strictly a volume-modulated tremolo effect), and the original alnico magnet 6x9 oval speaker is functioning as it should. The keys are level, and the action is smooth and consistent in all registers, with clean key caps and key bushings that have no excessive side to side wiggle and are responsive to a light touch.
The piano retains the original tapered legs with brass fittings, fitted with a brand new sustain pedal that matches the aesthetics of the original. The Wurlitzer waterslide decal is present on the piano's face, and the original knob pair is intact. The enclosure shows some scuffs and dings on the edges and presents very well.
