euiho11 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hello,there. My name is Ken from Nashville,TN I Believe you can give me some ideas. Recently I just found old organ from our church storage. I removed pair of Tube amp and three speaker from inside organ. I used to know some man in town who knows how to rebuild tube audio stuff. But I can't contact him anymore... Do you know anyone can clean up and rebuild for tube works? I am trying to use for playing a LP with that unit. I do own several old tube unit and listen with it my LP's. I believe Unit moved from Hammond Organ. Can you give me some help? I am sorry for my bad english writing. Regards, Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euiho11 Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Thank you for your help. Here is what I got. I am trying to rebuild it. Is it worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Ken, The amp in the pic looks like a mono amp. Did you get two of those out of the organ? I'd expect you would want to use them as a pair. I used a Baldwin organ amp for some time with very good results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euiho11 Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Here is another unit from the organ. I also removed three speaker. Is this unit(picture) stereo? When I remove from the organ I cut two speaker wire which connected from this tupe amp. Also,I realized this is Baldwin organ not Hanmond.

Daddy Dee Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I had a Baldwin amp rebuilt by Will Vincent. The second pic does look to be one of the old Baldwin specialized "two channel" amps. It is not a standard stereo amp, but can be modified for that purpose. The amp has one channel for low freq and the other for high frequencies. The amp would require two matching output transformers to function as a two channel stereo amp. Will Vincent would be a good person to contact if you'd like to have the amp rebuilt as a stereo amp. He is quite reasonable in his prices. He might be able to give you some advice, as well, if you like. He could explain the purpose for the other mono amp as well. The two tubes you see side by side are the rectifier tubes. I forget what they are for now. The four tubes lined up are 6L6. All in all, this can be a very nice sounding tube amp. You've found a great project piece. I loved the way my Baldwin amp sounded. It had great bass dynamics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euiho11 Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 Wow! Sounds really great. What a great information!!! Can you give me his contact info? I'm also attatching a EV crossover which came from same unit. I'm very exciting!!! Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 wow. I had no idea Baldwin used EV Patrician crossovers. very cool. Here's a link to one of Will's Baldwin rebuilds on Audiogon.com. There is an email contact link on that page. He's got a couple of Baldwin's on there now. I'd also suggest to click on "other items" to see some of the absolute works of art Will turns out with vintage Dynaco rebuilds. http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstube&1252021126 That 50 year old amp cleans up pretty good, no?

Just_Strummin Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 It's been a long time since I've come across a thread as cool as this! The web is such a valuable part of our lives now. Can you just imagine not being able to sign on and get help from another person somewhere in the world? Thank you Al Gore! :-) Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
