Yes, I had one of those in the early days. I used it professionally and the reeds would break all the time. Easy to replace and tune, I bought a Conn strobotuner to tune them. I'm surprised they are still around and working. It was probably the first electronic piano.

Don't try making the tines yourself. I tried. It just ain't worth it. You must use a visual tuner to tune these crazy things. To lower the pitch you add solder, to raise you file.

Since I had heard of piano/organ combos, I thought it might be worth my while to investigate. When I got there it was nothing but an old Wurly electronic piano. But if some of you have worked on these things, maybe you can be of some help. The tines of C#4, D#4 and F5 are broken. Where I could find those?
