Hello.
I picked this up a while but have never been able to reliable identify it’s origins. I would like to identify the transforms in hopes of reconfiguring it to a stereo setup.
Currently It is a bi-amp mono system believed to be from a 40’s/50’s organ. Someone said possibly from a Compton organ.

It sounds quite good even in it’s limited current configuration. I have a very cable tech that has checked it out throughly and gave it two thumbs up. The transformers are very hifi worther. He assured me It could be converted to a nice stereo system if I could find matching OPT’s. I like the look of the transformers and am only interested in the project if I can find matching OPT’s

Your suggestions, thought are all welcome.

Thanks

After doing a little research it looks like it may indeed be from a Compton organ, specifically the Melotone.  Here is what may be the service manual for it, which includes schematics from which your tech may be able to determine how to modify it into a stereo amp:

Part numbers for the transformers appear to be listed on the last page, but the manufacturer is not indicated.

Hope that helps.  Regards,
