Organ Parts score

Post by passfan »

Scored today pretty good. Picked up the guts out of a Wurlitzer 4100 organ. Got 5 RCA 12AX7's lp's , 3 Sylvania 12AX7's , 2 Sylvania 5881's brown base. All tubes test extremely high. Got the iron as well, a brute of a power transformer that I usually use in the Komet 60 builds I do (it doesnt even get warm) , a single secondary OT and a ton of sangamo and the vintage maroon looking caps and assorted parts all for 75.00 off of craigslist.

Nice! I scored a 1963 Lowrey Starlet organ last weekend and it's got a nice set of transformers, 7591 and 12AX7 amp tubes and a whole slew of frequency divider tubes that nobody wants. lol!

Every tube is stamped "Lowrey" and made in the USA so I'm hoping they're good RCAs.

Had a nice score myself. Found an old Voice of Music reel-to-reel. Inside lurked a quad of VoM stamped Mullard 12AX7As.
