Re: [vintagesynthrepair] Squeaky keys on a Wurlitzer electronic organ - what to do?

2004-03-27 by Michael Casino

There might be some kind of rubber key guide underneath the keys to dampen the movement of the keys up and down and right to left. I had a similar thing happen on an odyssey I own.

My mother has a Wurlitzer electronic organ (circa 1970) whoose keys are
making an extra squeaking or rubbing noise when they are pressed and I
am wondering what sort of maintenance the organ might require to
correct this. I hear the squeaking/rubbing when listening to her play
while I am in the same room and find it most annoying when I make audio
recordings as my microphones are picking this up as extra noise.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
