Hi, we just inherited a Wurlitzer Omni 200 organ. The power comes on but when you press the keys there is no music.

The previous owner said it may need fuses...does this sound right? If so, where are they to be installed?

SOURCE: Wurlitzer organ, highest key plays note one octave too low.

If this is the kind of organ with the wire sticking out of the key that makes contact with the bus bar to create the note you will have to make sure that key is operating the same as adjacent keys. The busbars have to be clean and the contact wires have to be clean. Sometimes when cleaning the wires they will spring out of place and not make contact with the appropriate bus bars. Check that key against the rest and see what you find. Hope this helps.

Try voice 9 in the bank 96. That is for a theater organ type sound. You would need decent sound system to amplify this and to sound anywhere near decent.

SOURCE: Re: Wurlitzer Digital Home Organ

If you have it apart, look in the area of where the power cord goes in. It would help me if you could mention the model number of the organ.The capacitors are in the same area as a fuse would be. The capacitors smooth and filter the A.C. power after the power goes into the power transformer and is then converted to D.C. to run the components. A fuse could be in the A.C. line or in the D.C. line depending on what it is designed to protect. With a model number we could do a search for a schematic and have a look at the most likely problem spots. The schematics for older analog organs are getting hard to find for free but a newer digital one may be easier. Let me know how you make out. Here is an interesting article that may give you some clues:http://www.theatreorgans.com/hammond/keng/kenhtml/wurlitzer%20organs%20by%20frank%20pugno.htm Here is another link with info:http://www.combo-organ.com/spares_and_repairs.htm#Electrolytics Let me know if this helps.

Haven't had the pleasure of working on one of these in a while!!

The problem is most likely dried up capacitors in the power supply. Any audio shop should be able to work on this. They may require you to remove the power supply though. There are folks that repair these in-home as well. It may take a little research, but check with local music shops for someone to repair this. The parts cost will likely be in the $40 range.

There is a Wurlitzer 565 in perfect condition onE bay with an owners manual. If you contact the owner perhaps they can give you some contact info inside the manual on where to get a duplicate. or for a fee perhaps they can make you a copy. If not The Wurlitzer Co. was originally from North Tonawanda, NY. I Lived there for years. It is now a museum. "The Wurlitzer Factory." If you google it you can contact them and they may be able to help you. good luck in your search.

Highest 13 keys on top and on bottom boards do not function

Those notes are likely scanned along with all the others. The strobe selection lines for those are likely failed... this might be only two wires.

IF you have ribbon style cables in the unit, this is often caused when people pull the cables by the edges to remove from connectors.

Look for this and a connector that might have one end lifted where a couple wires aren't quite connecting. THIS IS not ANY ISSUE OF FUSES.
