  • Wurlitzer 4100b inductors / chokes

    I recently picked up (not literally) a wurlitzer 4100b organ. 9 GE 12AX7 made it worth the money the rest is cream, including a Jensen C12R speaker and another alnico 12" of unknown origin, a whopping big PT, 28 RCA 12FQ8 (going to make valve casters), a pair of RCA 7868, numerous modular chassis and hundreds of brown caps (All Good brand)of similar form to those I have seen in SF Bassman (except they were blue). Oh happy days. Alas, no Leslie.

    There's also a bunch of inductors/chokes. According to the schematics posted elsewhere on this forum http://music-electronics-forum.com/t25817/ they operate at 270v feeding into a 12ax7. Not having used chokes before, I don't know if these are go to be of any use as a power supply choke due to the current handling limitations they may have. Each one has a different size & inductance.

    Is anyone familiar with these chokes and are they of any use in an amp? Even a small SE EL84 & twin triode contraption? Anything else I could use them for apart from fishing weights?

    Many thanks
    Jeff
    It's not microphonic - it's undocumented reverb.

    They can be used in Wah pedals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL9ToDSFz0E
