Leslie 147 -> running a EL34 and a 6550

Post by danotron »

A freind dropped off the old Leslie today, says it blew up. Soundd like a bad tube to me. He hadn't changed the tubes in years (10 or 20) so I pulled them out.
One was a 6550, what I was expecting but the other was an EL34. :shock:

:?: Could this realy have worked for so many years with the wrong tube in it? The Leslie always sounded great and was nice and loud.

:?: Anyone seen this before? How bad would this be on the op tranformer?
