The big selenium is the rectifier for the 48v supply for the relays. Allen told me that they rarely cause any problems being used this way. It is running perfectly at 47v. IF something happens to it, there is a 1 amp fuse on the power transformer on the chassis that WILL blow.

All of the tubes in the generator, other than the 83, and the tubes in the amplifer on the chassis to the bottom right, are 6SN7's, all Sylvania, and all original, and all good.

I have about 70 more 6SN7's that are Baldwin branded that were pulled from a water-soaked very damaged console that I ran across a few years ago. Someone else had snatched the speakers from it, but I did get 6 6L6GB's, and a 5R4GY.

The amplifier uses a 5U4G, 2-6L6GA's, 1-6SL7GT, and 1-6J5. It's driving a 12" woofer, and the pair that are belt driven, are 6" ones. They produce a bizarre vibrato effect when they are turned on.

I'll be glad when we get this fixed again. I want to do some more work on the bass pedal generator... the one with the white coils in the picture... beside the 83 power supply. Only one bass tone series sounds, and there are 4 that can be selected.

The good thing here is that all I have to do is ground individual wires on the keyboards to make the generator sound any given note. I'm learning as I go with this one.
