old lowrey organ

[petey twofinger]

garbage picked this thing and stripped it bare . got a bunch of lil modules , some drum modules , a tremolo , a preamp board for the spring reverb , tons of stuff .

anyway i hooked up the preamp/reverb board with the spring tank to a pc power supple , it take bipolar 12 and 5 . didnt get anything .  tried a dum machine mudule , same thing .

anyone ever mess with this stuff ? id love to get some of these lil guys working .

Did you note the organ's model etc?  Try a google of the schematics or an old book if possible. Without schematic info, it might be difficult to test in isolation.

well i forgot to mention all the individual boards have pin outs labeled on them . i still didnt have any luck when i rigged up the reverb preamp to the spring tank . i also tried a drum module , trying to shortthe pins labeled with drum sounds to ground, maybe i should try a resistor ?

i got this thing from goodwill the other day , its a air guitar rocker amp . it is missing the switch part . i guess you mount that on your belt , and strum with a magnetic pick ? anyway i tried shorting out the cable , a ring tip sleeve mini mni male , and it hard shorted / reset . then i grabbed a 10k pot with lead and shorted it , and it worked . i have some magnetic switches hee i salvaged from a kiddie toy , gonna fab something up . then try and bend the crap out of it . i could just put a 386 amp in it and use it for guitar , but i have 6 mini amps i built already and they use 5inch and up speakers .

anyone mess with this thing before ?  srry to derail my topic !
