Dana. Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Anyone played or owned one of these? I got to play one yesterday. Fun! [video:youtube] [video:youtube] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana. Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 Oh, I played it at Main Drag in Brooklyn. I think they wanted $1,000 for it. They also had a Solina in fair condition for $1,700. And an Electrapiano for $1,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Do they haggle, or just give you a blank stare if you lowball their price? Quote "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

zoooombiex Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I have one. It's in perfect shape with the stand, case and all the goodies. I've actually been thinking about selling it but it's a pretty cool and unique piece of gear. They don't come up often, but they have gone on ebay for ~$1000 (like mine, in good shape with accessories), so that asking price isn't really unreasonable. However, there was recently one on ebay and the starting bid was $500 - broken case, and not the cleanest specimen. But a good price if everything was working. There is a neat series of youtube videos where a guy justly tuned it. It's one of the first results if you google Wurlitzer 7300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana. Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 Thanks for the info. Considering the majority of Main Drag's keyboard prices are inflated, I figured it was worth less. I saw that same eBay listing and the starting bid seemed to support my thinking. If you decide to part with it, let's talk via PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonysounds Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Guitar Center had one for $350. I should have snapped it up after the MMW show. (I heard one there, and it was pretty cool.) I think anything over $600 is kinda crazy though. Quote Hitting "Play" does NOT constitute live performance. -Me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dglavko Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I picked one up for $275 a few mos ago and hope to like it a lot - but it is in rough shape and it's been sitting at my technicians house awaiting schematics - does anyone have these?

zoooombiex Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I do have the schematics for it. IIRC it's a big sheet so I'm not sure how to scan it in, but I can try. Maybe do it in sections and someone can piece it together? Regarding pricing, they don't come up often so it's not very consistent from what I've seen.

I finally got my 7300 back from the repair shop thanks to your shared schematics. Total repair bill $140. Loving it through my old Deluxe Reverb! It has a unique kind of distortion through that amp and fits perfect on top of the Logan string machine which sits on top of the Rhodes, next to the Acetone on top of the 145 Leslie, next to the A100/D6, next to the Wurli. Totally inspiring everything I wanted rig accumulated over the last year and a half, all for less than price of a Nord S2. I guess I am done now...

The 7300 does sound great with a tube amp and some distortion. It's a pretty unique sound. And it's hard to beat for its size & weight!
