January Update - More Mail-In Options Than Ever

Being right in the very middle of the US isn’t always great. But what it does mean is that we can offer fast shipping across the country and the best service rates by a mile. So we’re expanding the mail-in options to include action work like replacing bridal straps, hammer tips, key bushings and dampers. Power amplifiers and even entire keyboards. We realize there may not be a local Rhodes/Wurlitzer tech around the corner but we’re here to be the next best thing!

Drop us a line for a custom Mail-In Service quote with Upfront Pricing and the best rates anywhere.

We will still offer recapping and re-chipping services for the most common preamps (some of which you can purchase directly in our shop) and amplifiers for both the Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer. Rhodes models include both the Janus and Peterson active preamps as well as power amplifiers. Wurlitzer models include both the solid state amplifiers like the 200 and 200A but also the tube amplifiers like the 120 and 140 models.

A quick FYI: In our experience the biggest improvement in terms of sound quality comes not from re-capping (unless of course there's an issue with the caps) but re-chipping. Replacing the onboard 4558's used in the Janus preamp with really any decent modern op amp gives a much more clear, present and open sound to the preamp. In our Janus upgrade we install sockets so that op-amps can be interchanged. We typically use a Burr Brown OPA2134 but many many other op amps do quite well. If you're a bit uneasy desoldering op-amps, let us do it for you. We have professional desoldering stations and turn around for already working preamps needing upgrades is very quick.
