  • What is this thing?

    The spring reverb is likely with another old tube amp organ pull. So pretty much disregard factoring that in. This all came in a box from a keyboard player friend.
    Maybe a Leslie simulator?

    Pretty sure this is the History Eraser Button.

    I say fire that thing up and see what it does!

      Being where it is, and the associated large ceramic resistors (5W?) plus ventilated cover I would suspect a regulated power supply.
      Not enough complexity for a Leslie Simulator which would be something akin to an old style Phaser.

        Are those big black things inductors on the tag board? If so, could be some kind of all-pass filter. But again, I'm just a blind man pulling on an elephant's tail.

          They look like old "enamelled" style ceramic resistors to me.
          We are used to modern rectangular white ceramic ones, but I´m old enough to remember this style.

          And even older ceramic body *exposed* wire ones, think 40´s 50´s radios and PA amplifiers, some adjustable with a sliding metallic strap.

            Yes, they look like enamelled wirewound power resistors. (Also old enough )

              Not “that” old.. looks like 1970s Japanese components. The black things are wire wound resistors. Are the electrolytics Nichon?
