you give instructions for modifying a Hammond organ chassis to make a triode 6V6 push pull. It piqued my interest but after hours of dizzying boredom sifting through Hammond schematics, tribute sites and Ebay I can't find a chassis that exactly matches your description. Most organ amps with a quad of 6V6s are biamp models with separate (and differently part numbered) bass and treble output transformers. The one or two found which are true full range didn't have a 6J5 front end, at least not on the same chassis.
Either the description doesn't match or I can't see how they're adaptable to full range use. Could I trouble you for a little more detail? Thx in advance.

The choke in the stock amp are both the same size. I replaced one stock choke with a physically smaller choke next to the power transformer. I wanted a higher DCR as voltage was a little too high for 6V6 triode connected. The stock audio transformer sits in the chassis like the power transformer. All chassis of this type are black wrinkle paint. I find these amps on ebay.
Thx again. You mean like this one?

Judging by the 'buy now' on this auction word may be out.
