$60.00

For Sale: This small tube amp chassis along with 8" Oxford alnico speaker and controls were removed from a Silvertone reed organ that I think was made around 1963.

The organ used a blower motor and produced sound without the amplifier, amp added volume and vibrato feature. Used a small round microphone (included) that was mounted internally right above the reeds. I took the mic off and temporarily connected a 1/4" jack which I tested with guitar, see video below for results.

Has classic tube amp tone but not that loud, think it is probably around 5 watts or so. Will sound twice as loud if you mount the speaker in a small cabinet.  The two controls are marked Flute/String and Off/Vibrato.  The one switch is a little bit wonky but does work- Flute changes to a bassier sound and String has more treble. The Off/Vibrato switch works great - it's the power switch and if you keep turning it you increase the depth of the Vibrato effect from 0 to max.

Tubes are all originals marked Silvertone and there are two 12ax7a, a 6AQ5A, and a 5Y3-GT rectiifer tube. Power lite is working.
