  • Vacuum Tube Amplifier for Wurlitzer

    I had a customer last week who had paid $430 for a "vacuum tube amplifier" for his piano.

    I think he was slightly misled, since its actually a LM1875T with a 12AX7 front end.

    The schematic bleow is the "tube" part, which is in effect just a quirky buffer. It looks like an attempt to marry the old Wurlitzer tube design with the later solid state stuff (i.e. the 10 ohm resistor is a vestige of a former feedback return) but its worse than either.

    This Wurlitzer thing gave me the idea to try some tube amp conversions myself. This one is available for $1000....

      Woodyc - sounds a bit like this one

      Jaycar AA0474 Valve Amplifier Link !

      but to be fair J. did change their advertising and the price did drop!

      They no longer stock it - one would think someone would open it up before taking it on !
