Wurlitzer 200A repair in Los Angeles?

FINALLY! After craving for years, I got a wurlitzer 200a, and in pretty good shape. I know Ken Rich is the "guy", but I was wondering if anyone has had anyone else work on their wurlis? Like any key players or piano tuners that you know of?

BTW, I don't need any electronic work on it. Signal is strong and noise is minimal. I mainly want to improve the action/playbility of the thing. There's also 1 note that's pretty out, but everything else is fine.

Thanks
Danny

Timewarp Music on Venice repairs Wurli's if you can't afford Ken.

We had Ken repair our Wurlitzer 140B. This thing had been sitting in the garage for 20 years, had no sustain pedal and a few of the keys were broken. Ken restored it beautifully. And he made a custom sustain pedal. This thing sounds amazing and looks wonderful. I recommend Ken.

There's a guy in LA on Santa Monica Blvd in Hollywierd, down near Western Ave on the south side of the street that fixed a jack, replaced 3 tines and tuned my Wurli for $100 about 4 years ago. I'm forgetting his name but he was a righteous brother. I'll try to dig up his info.

As far as New York, I too want to find someone local. I gather 2 Lines music has bitten the dust and Rogue music are about the biggest criminals I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with.
