Wurlitzer 1203 Player Piano Power Problem
By Keith Gramlich

I have been working on a client Wurlitzer 1203.  I believe we have
replaced all of the diodes at this point.  The piano had been blowing
the 8 ampere fuse in the right side control panel.

We finally got the piano to play very well.  I played it for about
1/2-hour and had no problems.  The client had no problems for a little
over an hour that evening.  After that, the 8 amp fuse blew and
everything worked except the vacuum motor.

I went and checked all of the diodes I could find and they all seem to
test out okay.  Any other recommendations?  Any assistance would be
greatly appreciated!

Best regards,
Keith Gramlich
