Story and Clark piano with 70 tubes!

[Chad Hauris]

We got an interesting device for $29.95 this weekend...it is a 1957 Story and Clark spinet piano with built-in electronic organ. We got the electronics working (cord had been cut and speaker removed) and repaired and cleaned the piano action. Performance is good!
Tube line-up:
48 12AU7's, 12 12AV6's, 2 6SL7, 2 6SN7, 2 12AX7, 2 6V6, 2 6W4 rectifiers.

Damn, that's got to be rare...and is totally cool!

Did the power grid kinda dim for a minute when you fired this bad boy up ?!? <grin>...70 tubes...Good God Gertie !!! -Sandy G.

[Rockmonton]

well probably not, each of the preamp tubes only draws around 1 ma per tube, the power ones significantly more, couldnt be THAT bad....

Never mind the Piano, what about the Model B Seeburg in the back? :D

[Chad Hauris]

The seeburg is one we repaired for a customer...works well!

That amp is the spitting image of a lowrey amp I put on the bay last week. The tone board is the same as well. No doubt sourced from the same place and labeled by the end user.

Any chance that same generator design was used for Cordovox electronic accordions? I have a Cordovox rig with a similar setup.

And do my eyes deceive me or is that a Jensen P12R?

[Chad Hauris]

Yes that probably is a Jensen...We had to replace the original speaker (which was missing) with one from our shop.
