Like what's his name used in the original Carmen Ghia.

I think I still got a set or two of that out in the Garage. Might be fun.

I think it is a different Hammond organ amp AO-44 maybe rather then the AO-35 reverb amp

The through chassis output transformer looks AO-35.

Yes it sure does I agree and didn't they use that OT in other models as well?

The AO-29 and AO-67 have really long chassis it appears to be the AO-33 reverb amp but seems like a slightly longer chassis to me. I don't know.

My AO-33 is a loud good sounding little bugger. :lol:

The AO-44 has a different looking OT.

They use a model with feet for 6BQ5 with about 8800 primary impedance (same cores) and also one with 12000 or so for the 6V6. The only one I know of with thru chassis (so far) is the AO-35. I quit raiding the Hammond amps when I bought an M3. Probably 90% have been destroyed. I still have LOTS of parts from stripped chassis. One AO-35 set somewhere and a whole slew of other various hammond innards.

Yes, that looks like my A100 reverb amp xformers, except painted black.

Both of the transformers look like the ones from the AO-35.
