Vintage Synth Repair

Hi,

I bought a Wurli 200A without speaker in it. Does somebody tell where  I can
find new ones... Or if I could easily replace them by new.

Two 4"x8" Oval  (16 ohm)

Are they the same as car-speakers ?

All good idea are welcome,

Best Regards

Alex

Alex,
I don't know where you're hailing from, but here in the US 
www.partsexpress.com has a wonderful selection of speakers of every 
type. I think that mostly car speakers are 4 ohms, but you may be 
able to get something. Anyway, good luck with your Wurli. ~JIM

I will check, but I think that 16 ohm speakers will be hard to find.... but
I will search on your URL.

Thanks a lot for your kind assistance ;-)

...i can't imagine any reason not to use an 8 ohm speaker, and add an 
8 ohm resistor in series.

It's a good idea. I am not a professional in electronic.... I think this
will be the easiest way to repair my Wurly.

Tkx for this tip !

If you use an 8 ohm speaker in series with an 8 ohm resistor, you 
will have a 16 ohm load, but you will be dissipating half the output 
power in the resistor - so make sure it is large enough to handle 
half the rated output of the amplifier.

Check with "Vintage Vibe".

http://www.wurlitzerreeds.com/ or http://www.vintagevibe.com/

They appear to have new replacement speakers for the 200a

You could always try Morelock's Organ Service in Rienzi, Mississippi. They
are the main leading supplier for all Wurlitzer parts. Check out their info
on the www.mitatechs.com site under manufacturers/suppliers.

forgot to mention, according to Morelock's, apparently these can be

all true, but in this case, you have an amp designed for a 16 ohm 
load...and i doubt any speaker you put in that thing today would be 
any less effecient than the original.

So, what WOULD happen if you put an 8 ohm speaker in place of the 16 ohm speaker?  Would the amp balk at this?

 Probably YES! it could short your amp in the worst  case... 
you could also put 2 8 ohm speakers in serial, or 4 4ohms in 
serial, instead of using a resistor. (if you have enough place 
inside, that is...)

-------------------
I discovered that installing an 8 ohm speaker instead of the 16 ohm 
speaker puts a greater load on the amplifier & it may not be able to 
provide enough wattage to drive it.  So, you're right, it could short 
the amp - but it probably will just sound anemic.

Finally looked at my schematic, and the original 2 16-ohm speakers 
were wired in parallel, giving you an 8-ohm load.  You could either 
use a single 8-ohm speaker, or use 2 4-ohm speakers wired in series.

Ok I will try this solution...

Thx a lot !!!!
