Members bieke Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 Actually not a tube amp. Thats the note generator for a tube organ. One tube for every note in 5 octaves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lefort_1 Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 one box has the tone-generator, the other is a tube-amp. Lots of tubes, but almost no known circuitry for the ones in the tone generator.It's a real oddball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members El Glom-o Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 I picked up one of the cabinets with power amp at a flea market for $50. Took the amp out and gave it to a friend, kept the rest of the cabinet which is loaded with 2 Jensen C12-R speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hangwire Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 lots of those amps locally around here: cordovox, magnatone, flot-a-tone, etc... Demo'd one amp a few months ago that looked like a glasses cabinet in grandmas house... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bieke Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 Magnatone !!?? really, always wanted one of those these have a great vibrato I did play one of the Cordovox amps, it was not too bad, good clean sound but walked out with a Farfisa amplifier instead (which had tube tremolo and tube reverb) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lefort_1 Posted July 6, 2012 Members Share Posted July 6, 2012 Whoever buys that could probably get their money's worth just by selling 66 old 12AX7s No. The vast majority of those tubes are NOT 12AX7's.There are about 3 12ax7s in the tone-generator cab. Maybe a couple in the amp cab. The rest in the tone-cab are 6x8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
