But that’s gone since I re-built the amp (replacing the electrolytic caps, the high-value resistors, and subbing low-noise transistors for the originals). Its early solid state amp is also known for being noisy - and mine had some significant hum.

The downside of this model is that it is the heaviest portable Wurli EP ever built (not an issue for me, since I won’t be gigging with it).

And the seller even had a copy of the original schematics and a Wurlitzer warranty envelope with the the owner’s manual and, believe it or not, the original hang tag. Complete with lid, pedal, music stand, legs and matching bench. I like the way it looks, too.Īnd this was a very special one: Virtually flawless cosmetically.
There are nuances in the sound that I don’t hear with the thicker reeds on my 200A, and hitting the keys a little harder rewards you with a very cool bark. The 140B is, in my opinion, a high-water point for the Wurlitzer electric piano: The best action and tone of any Wurli I’ve played, and optically controlled vibrato that will bring tears to your eyes. This was the last Wurlitzer electric piano before the company decided to save money - and weight - by building the plastic-topped 200 series. But a few days later, after a long drive, it was mine for a reasonable price. The piano was mis-identified as a Wurlitzer 112.
This came into my collection in December 2013 in a very unlikely way: It was listed on Craigslist at a location 200 miles from my house.
