Scored a Baldwin Organ!
« on: March 29, 2012, 01:19:19 pm »
Don't know exactly what model it is but it has about what seems like 36 6SN7's in it on the oscillator/dividers(?), and it has some old big bottle maybe 6L6's that I haven't pulled yet so don't know the make. Just got it home from about 45minutes away. I think it might be a Model 40 or so, does anyone know how to tell the model of these? Every single thing works on this organ, even the bass pedals. It has One 12" Alnico speaker that I saw.   Pics to follow.

It's a goldmine for an amp builder..... yes/no??  It says Orgasonic on it.

Looks very similar to this on the inside

Here's some pics, man does this organ have some big iron. Anyone know who made the speaker? There are some RCA tubes in it, but the majority of the 6SN7's are Sylvania. The tubes in the pic all checked good.

-Well I guess the speaker is a Jensen P12N circa Mid-50's. OK, now I'm thinking it is a Magnavox P232, but it sure looks like a Jensen.

The basket looks kinda Jenson like.
The magnet looks like something else.

It's a Magnavox by the speaker code 232 - but you have to wonder who really made it.

Magnavox did manufacture speakers....In fact, they invented what we call a speaker (The product called Magna-Vox meaning: "Great Voice" was the first "modern" speaker). By the late 1960's they focused on TV manufacturing and were sourcing most of their speakers from other companies however.

Now wthat is very interesting information Bigsby. Thanks. 

I'm thinking I may attempt to make a 50 watt Marshall out of this Amplifier. Use EL34's maybe. The PT, OT and choke are certainly big enough. I read some info in the archives about this same Organ that someone else happened across here. Wonder what they eventually did with the parts? There are a lot of usefull parts on this unit.
