1962 estey organ rad tube score

Post by creaturesleeper » Sun Apr 08, 2012 5:35 pm

I scored this for free today. It doesnt sound too stellar but I popped the hood and was stoked to find about 20 62 Telefunken Ecc83s a handfull of GE 12au7s and a push pull 6 bq5 power amp. Looks like my hands will be busy with projects for quite some time. Super Stoked!

organ raids are awesome. that is, when the organ itself is a bit corny.

then again, today's corny is tomorrow's new wave...

I might get some guff for this from some folks but to be fair I repurpose most of the parts eventually...even the wood. And really unless it has a tonewheel like the Hammond E112 which I left intact...all 350 pounds of it....they just do not sound good. I scrapped out a 57 lowrey and scored some 50's blackplate RCAs and Jensen P10 speakers which will soon be a sweet guitar amp. Also some 40 6x8 tubes...a bunch of paraphase amps I guess?
