Ampeg Gemini 1 OT identification
« on: July 07, 2022, 01:41:47 pm »
any of you know if there is any chance this is the original OT?? its an older 64 or 65 Gemini 1 / octal pre-amp tubes.  Picked this up sick but functioning... appears mostly original. Some newer electrolytics and perhaps the OT.

 Looks like a replacement . You can see where the leads are spliced together for starters .

Thordarson was a popular generic replacement transformer in the '60s. Good quality.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!
