I have a wurlitzer 200a and the low G# keeps not working. I know it's not the reed as it works sometimes. I can't get the piano open - that's my real concern. I've unscrewed the 3 screws at the front and it kind of comes open but seems to be jammed. Does anyone own one of these who knows how to open it? I really don't want to break something.

take the volume and vibrato knobs off.

make sure the screws on the top holding the sheetmusic stand are also taken off.
 
thanks

Thankyou very much. I got it open and fixed it. The problem was very simple - the frame that hold the reeds in place has little metal legs that hold it to the main frame of the whole thing, and one of those legs was interfering with the hammer, so i just bent the hammer slightly by gentle force. It works like a treat now. Looks like it'll be nice and easy to replace parts for it too.
 
...just wait until you have to tune it. huge pain in the ass.
