T,

Big, elegant organ of its kind. Yes, beautiful tibia sounds, and all manner of strings and colorful solos in the Wurlitzer tradition.

If it's in pretty good working order you have a nice instrument that you'll make some good music on.

Does everything seem to work?

Oh, just noticed your previous post about this organ. To answer your question about problems that may affect this model -- the divider IC's have been a little prone to failure, but they are readily available from Morelock's Organ Service (the Wurlitzer support people) in Rienzi, MS. They are relatively cheap, but your service tech needs to be experienced and patient when replacing them.

You might go ahead and get a service manual from Morelock in case you have problems.

As far as comparison to your Conn, well, they are just two quite different organs. Good points to each. You'll be in a good position to compare and report your impressions to this forum.

Good luck and have fun!

Thank you ever so kind for the two posts.. One more question : Can I hook up Conn Pipes to the W 950 TA and.. would it improve the over all sound.

I guess the Tibias will remain coming from the leslie then , so it would inflict only on the strings...right ?.

Does the W 950 has connections provided for such or should I get into the organ console to connect. I am a dummy when it comes to electrnic so..

All feedback is highly appriciated !!
