Anybody need old vacuum tubes? Then I'll go away forever.

10/10/2012 11:54 PM

no idea who put me on this list, but I am... a poet with not long to live, who cares? Can't afford my meds. Anybody want to buy some rare? old vacuum tubes? I bought an "organo", which is NOT a spice some 50 years ago and the amplifier worked just cracker-jack dandy at the time. Therefore, they still do. I have the entire structure, board, whatever you want to call it. Absolute State of the Art for 1955 or so. I'll save you the research, an "organo" was a brain child where someone took an upright piano and added an electric organ to it, including neat-o cool plastic bass pedals and a bunch of little toggles that said celeste, flute, trumpet, bs, etc, but really just made the same crappy little noise a little louder each time you pressed another one. the bass pedals worked pretty good. MY POINT BEING that you might have a nice set of hard to come by tubes along with the sockets for same and what ever thing a ma jig resistors capacitors diodes who the hell knows what stuff. I TOLD you I was a poet, daddy was the ww2 radio repairman etc. I just won some EE scholarship so I didn't have to go to the NAM, ok?????.

If you just go away, or to the commercial side, no one will notice you were ever here.

Also, it's ok to post about inventive stuff you're making / crazy electrical ideas and what have you, but don't post your phone number and try to pick "Commercial Space" as your area! Have a good night / morning / whatever it is there!

I am unsubscribing from this site, so don't answer me here. If you send me an email direct to

CR4 Admin - email address removed

From the CR4 Rules: Do not post phone numbers or email addresses. The CR4 Admin will delete all phone numbers and email addresses posted in threads or comments. You can share this information via the CR4 internal messaging system.

I will send you information that should be helpful in showing you what I have. Actually have the specs, the entire circuit diagram of the amplifier, tone generators, etc. It's also in a cool looking wooden cabinet. A couple of people have rewired these into a tube amplifier for guitar/etc. Very "cool" for those wishing to have a unique and "earth friendly"/whatever piece of equipment. Of course, I believe there are quite a few interesting parts that aren't used if you just make it into an amp, since it also generated all the various instrumental sounds on a typical electric organ of the 1950s. Honestly... they are more like a high pitch fuzzy kazoo down to a sub base ultra low buzzy kazoo, but they WERE labeled all the different instrument names, ok? Anyway...send me an email with ORGANO ORGANO ORGANO in the title and I will spot it and send you the specs. You might get off to it, daddy-o. Give it a shot. Stephen Boone, Garland, TX By the way those of you who are not tcmtech notice I said I am unsubscribing so forget the flames and insults. You mother taught you better -- you just weren't listening because you were so super smart. DUH.
