Feel free to send the TC-500a along to me - I'll give it a good funeral.
You and me both, John. I'm talking Frankenstein - type things. Gutting a Fisher Coronet II Provincial console and putting it in a Zenith MCM console (don't worry, the donor ended up being bought for furniture purposes). I'm not ashamed - it was in the interests of science and interior decor.
So, I've been sorting through all my tubes in the last few days, prearing for having a tube tester. I've keeping an eye out for a trio of Hammond-labeled Mullard 7247 from a tear-down last fall. I found other tubes from the same organ, but no 7247s. I've tossed my office looking for them, to no avail.
Conclusion: knowing that there's no way I'd be parting with them, and wanted to keep them handy for my upcoming Dyna ST-35 refurb, I put them somewhere very, very safe. God help me.

I’ll check the sock drawer!
I found a single Hammond Mullard 7247 in with my Realistic Lifetime stash, and now I’m wondering if I imagined the organ giving up three. The L-100 service manual supports this theory.
I’m going to write off the lost trio and, if I find them, they’ll be a surprise gift from my past self.
Sorry - I should have specified, "Your mileage may vary"
odd or even number of 'em?
Sounds like a snippet from the lyric of a really bad blues song.
You tease!
Is it 9 large form Jensen speakers?
That wouldn’t fit the theme of this thread!
I found a church two hours away that needed to turn their defunct Allen rig into space and Organ Fund, and I was happy to oblige.
I wound up renting a Uhaul and gutting out an organ console and six speaker cabinets. In addition to the aforementioned Jensen 302, I wound up with six CTS alnico 15”, four CTS ceramic 12”, a pair of Pyle Driver horns, twenty-seven (!) CTS alnico 6.5”, three DC power supplies, a DC motor, two crossovers, three inductors, and a power switch. In total, I’m out one day of screwing around and a lot less cash than it would take to buy one pair of RP302 on eBay.
The amps were long gone, but would have been solid state anyway.
I’m harvesting organs like it’s a tissue bank up in here!
What a find! let me know if you are selling the jensen tweeters, ive been rather curious about them
You know how this movie ends, right? You'll get to the Pearly Gates, and there'll be a bunch of eviscerated electronic components* there, which will look at you, then at St. Peter, and intone, gravely, "Downstairs".
🤭
PS -- There're 6SL7s in them old organs, too?!?!
