Everyone I contacted was selling repros. There are no sources anywhere in the world as Mon, 08 Feb 2010 18:22:29 GMT jiggityjars http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/Wurlitzer_Elec_Piano/message/10681 http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/Wurlitzer_Elec_Piano/message/10681 Should I just tie them to another set of wires on the amp? Any additional hints would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks.

Sometimes I get the feeling that Vintage Vibe takes us Wurlitzer owners as a bunch of idiots if we expect to pay their exorbitant prices.

If this is a gigging instrument it would be a good idea to tie those fuse holders down somehow, so they don't move about when the piano is moved.
