Title: Baldwin "Orgasonic" 51P
Post by: 1blueheron on November 29, 2018, 07:47:10 am
My latest acquisition is a Baldwin Orgasonic organ.  Model 51P.

It's a nice little tube organ and it is playable.  I think I am going to clean it up and leave it intact for now as I have enough projects on the table.  The chassis format in this organ does not seem conducive to converting to a guitar amp. It is too large and spread out.  It is pretty to look at inside though.

As best I can tell, it was built around 1961.

Tube compliment is 12AX7 12AU7, 5AU4, 6L6.  Has two Rola 12" speakers.

The expression pedal is a little scratchy and things are very dusty.

It needs a new cord installed as usual.

Any tips on the best way to clean dust off the tubes and fix the scratchy pedal?
