Description

The Wurlitzer 140 & 140a were released between 1962 and 1963. These keyboards are extremely rare, and represent a significant departure from the 120. Both the amplifier and the mechanical assembly are very different.

The 140’s revised mechanical action is much easier to regulate and maintain. In fact, it’s the same mechanical action as the 200-series. It worked so well that Wurlitzer reused it, with only slight modifications, until the electronic piano was discontinued in 1979. The 140 is also the first Wurlitzer with a solid state amplifier. Since it is composed entirely of hard-to-find germanium transistors, it is challenging to repair. If you can find one in working condition, however, the vintage transistors have a beautiful tube-like warmth.

Considering its extremely short production run, germanium transistors, and one-of-a-kind reeds, the Wurlitzer 140 is one of the rarest and most unique Wurlitzer electronic pianos.
