wurlitzer-jukeboxes Acquire Wurlitzer Digital Princess

I have had this jukebox for years. It still works great as I am listening to it right now. The sound is good for the radio and cd’s. You have to use the remote in order to play the cd’s. The only problem I have ever had with it is the hidden drop down panel which conceals the power button, light and radio dial broke off very soon after buying it and I handled it with kid gloves. The model in the store had the same problem, but I assumed it was because of being mishandled by customers. They used tape to keep it closed. I first used double-sided tape and it kept falling down so I use a piece of velco and that solved the problem.

Should I buy a classic electric piano in this day and age?
Should I buy any known “classic” electro-mechanical piano, be it a (Fender) Rhodes, Wurlitzer 200 or Yamaha CP70/80? Hohner’s Pianet N and T and the RMI Electra-Piano 368 are also candidates.I know the Rhodes had three sizes of 54 keys (introduced 1980 for players who wanted more space), the common 73-key model and Wurlitzer Digital Princess the grand 88-key model. The Wurlitzer 200 was the electric piano used by the British prog-rock band Supertramp, most notably on their hit 1979 album “Breakfast in America.”Yamaha’s CP70 was an acoustic-electric grand piano. It was played by Geoff Downes (Buggles, Asia), Stevie Wonder, Keane, ABBA, etc., etc. An 88-key version known as the CP80 also existed.These electric pianos went out of fashion for the most part after 1983-85, when Yamaha’s DX7 and other digital synthesizers were capable of emulating the sounds of the Rhodes and the Wurlitzer.To find any one of these pianos in good condition would involve having to pay up lots of $$$ and I do not know if any common man would do something like this nowadays.~Ben Edge (ClassicTVMan1981)
