"Ted,

You didn't note the missing back panel, but that's easy enough to 
make or source from Valhalla Woodworking.

I'm all for getting speakers reconed, but it does involve skill to do 
it right. The reason I say have the reconer re-use the original voice 
coil if possible is that I had an F15LL reconed, and the re-coner 
used an 8 Ohm coil by mistake. And you want someone who has the right 
parts like a new spider of the correct stiffness. Go to someone with 
a good reputation and who seems knowledgeable.

Based on the knob and your description of the unit, I'd say you have 
an Organ-Mate reverb unit. If you look closely, it should have the 
name on it somewhere.

1962 puts you safely before the gooey foam era if I have my dates right.

David A."

Bingo that's it, it says "Organ Mate" on it. I just couldn't recall the exact 
verbiage from my desk here at work. 

That's a darn good reason for concern on the Ohmage issue, I'll keep that in 
mind. McDonalds isn't the only industry with a subpar work force.

Inside the organ it is spotless, I didn't have the back off when I snapped those 
series of pics. I meant to snap some over the weekend when I had it off. 
On the top side near the top on both sides, there are two aluminum brackets, that looked covered
in talc powder, I figure aluminum oxidization. Everything else was squeaky clean. Not one misnuscule of
dust made it's way inside the case. 

Ed, the numbers are in pics the one that's titled "Speaker Codes"

Ted
