Members Crunchtime Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 Check this out. Ran across this Cordovox preamp poweramp combo from the 60's on ebay. This thing has over 60 tubes! I'd hate retubing it. No idea what theese are but seems like it could be a decent deal? No? Even has a pair of old Jensens. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cordovox-CG-Vintage-1960s-TubeTone-Generator-Pre-Amp-and-Tube-Power-Amplifier-/200780744075?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ebf77058b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dolf Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 Pretty sure the "tone generator" portion is exactly that. Individual tubes dedicated to producing individual notes, hence the reason there's so many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members teemuk Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 Pretty sure the "tone generator" portion is exactly that. Individual tubes dedicated to producing individual notes, hence the reason there's so many. It's exactly that. At least one tube for each oscillator. Exactly the kind of stuff why transistors were invented, though it sounds even weaker than a $5 Casio synth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mamberg Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 I bet it's got a fairly small percentage of 'usable' tubes in the tone generator.He alludes to 12AX7's, but certainly could have posted a close up of the tube chart on the back panel if it was loaded with usable vintage tubes.

Members Belva Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 Is it a freaking organ simulator or something? No. An, um, organ simulator is most commonly known as a dildo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lz4005 Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 Holy crap....66 tubes? Is it a freaking organ simulator or something? That's insane! Yes. The part with all the tubes is the guts of an all-tube keyboard/electric accordion. The other cab is basically a regular tube amp with the normal arrangement of pre and power tubes. There've been at least 3 threads on this thing in the last 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
