We got a batch of old Wurlitzer student models in last week, and we've been restoring them. They came in looking pretty bad, but they clean up nicely. They will be up for sale sometime soon, so check back on that.

We made a video of the Orange Sparkle Rhodes we have for sale, which also demonstrates our Stage Vibe. You can view it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzrGsBULWXg.

We also have a new video of repairing a Rhodes power supply here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYGmaSYv-oc. And we are in the middle of taping some new videos which will be up in the next couple of days.

Today we tuned and fixed action on some Wurlitzers, as well as rebuild some Wurlitzer Amps. We are also in the middle of repairing a Sequential Circuits Prophet V.

We got a new 140B in for restoration and will be up for sale afterwards.

We are working on a new Clavinet D6 pre amp, and have new custom Clavinet Transformers.
