Tone cabinets for organs

Organ tone cabinets were built to compliment the sound and tonal requirements of Wurlitzer organs. These cabinets contained an amplifier and a rotating speaker element which made a chorus or tremolo effect.

Tone cabinets for electronic pianos

The electronic piano tone cabinets were built to complement a specific concurrent model of electronic piano. Like organ tone cabinets, these units contained an amplifier and a speaker. They also featured electronically induced tremolo effects.

Model:

Spectra-Tone

Because the Leslie rotating speaker system was under patent, Wurlitzer had to develop their own rotating speaker for their tone cabinets. The result was the Spectra-Tone.

Spectra-Tone technology is found in multiple organs and tone cabinets. We have the following Spectra-Tone drawings scanned:

  • 503981 (Tag, caution, for 2-speed rotating speaker)

  • 506632 (Housing, bearing and bobbin assembly for the Spectra-Tone)

  • 506633 (Housing, bearing and bobbin assembly for the Spectra-Tone)

  • 506635 (Rubber liner for the Spectra-Tone)

  • 506636 (Housing, bearing, for the Spectra-Tone)
