Nuthin' sounds like a real Wurli!

I have my wife's Wurli in my studio and I need top re-build the amp section, but it still sounds great.
She bought it by saving up her paychecks when she worked at IHOP!
I think that she bought it in 1980, but it will probably be buried with her!
She is visciously protective over it.
I guess she served a lot of Rutti-Tutti Fresh n' Fruity's to get the dough to buy it, so...
I have a tap off of the pickups that allows me to D.I. it.

The thing about a Wurli is the tuning issues.
It isn't perfectly in tune EVER!
Even when it was new!
It also has a nice distortion sound.
