First Repair of the Year

My brother gave me a cable for his Wurlitzer keyboard that was broken.

I was pretty sure that all I needed to do was to cut off the bad end and then cut an old power cord for a computer and attach the good end. I was very careful to use a razor blade to cut the outer covering on the cable and not cut anything beneath it.

Here’s the part of the new cord with the wires inside.

Before I cut any wires, I checked which pins went where on each plug and came up with this chart for how to connect the wires.

Old cable	New cable
White	Blue
Black	Brown
Green	Yellow/Green & Bare

Then I (poorly) soldered the wires together and checked continuity and it looked good. I’m sure that I’ll get better at doing this the more I do it. I wrapped everything in electrical tape and returned the wire to my brother. He said it worked fine. Yay!
