I have a tube amp from a Baldwin organ that I'm planning on converting to guitar.
It has a pair of 6L6 power tubes, a big power supply iron, and paper output transformer and choke. There's a volume control.

Does anyone have a schematic?

I believe the power supply electrolytics have been replaced, as well as several of the caps in the preamp section (they are blue chicklets). There appears to be several old ceramic disc caps in the tone section that could be replaced, but I'll probably start it up with them to see how it sounds.

My first task is to build an enclosure. I'm thinking of a simple box with an inner box that it will sit on. It appears like it was originally bolted onto a hole.
It's quite heavy, and I'm wondering if I should do something to make the enclosure more stable than four pieces of wood glued and nailed, with four more pieces of wood nailed to the inside.

The next steps are going to be:
- Putting in a power cord (3- prong)
- The 5-amp fuse and cap appears to be missing
- Adding a guitar connector in parallel to the stereo input

Once it's powered up I'll begin making choices about the tone section, which might include adding a single tone knob (there's not much room).

Any suggestions for conversion would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

Here's some photos

Hey! I've got one of those also,I've been trying to find info on it for a couple years.I was pretty sure it was from an organ,but I had no idea which one.

I actually partially gutted it,and was going to rebuild it,but never got around to it.

Sorry,no schematic or anything.But thanks for the info and pics!
Atleast we know it came from a Baldwin organ.I had no idea where it came from,before now. Smile
