lol convert that thing into a single case with 50 guitar effects built in. Make all the switches and pedals do stuff.
Signatures have a 255 character limit that I could abuse, but I am not Cecil B. DeMille.

I'm thinking it just needs a fuzz pedal hooked up to it

Nice! I've had a few organs like this also. Just like you, I kept 'em around for a bit 'cause they sound rad as hell and are really nice. Yet, the inevitable always happens. Lots. Of. Parts. ...And tubes. This is what I did to a "Leslie" unit like what you have there, with the spinning foam dealio, and re-purposed a Hammond carcass, as well. Old pic, it's changed a bit, but you get the idea. The guitar neck is there for ergonomic fatigue-resistant wrist support. Quite comfy!

Have fun with it!

Just an update the speakers in this thing sound great. Ive got them In a sealed oversized 2x12 cab. I doped the surrunds helped a byit with headroom. I've been punishing them with my 100 watt super drive.
Its also filled with carbon films that all test pretty close within 5% . all the caps I have tested have been in tolerance they look real similar to the ajax molded caps except they're maroon .it has a lot of carbon comps that test reasonably close 10% or so. Oh and the Phillips ax7s that were in it are the hottest tubes I have in my collection.

I believe they are clevlends . and they do sound sweet and have a surprising bit of headroom for smallish alnicos . of course im not running the hundred watter full out.I'd say they are similar to p12q's maybe a little better sounding.

Man that is a lot of tubes in the generator.

I bought a Hammond amp and it came with two silver topped Sylvania 6V6GT's that have a lot of life left.

But most if not all the other tubes were of no use to me.

Don't let that smoke out!
