This is for sale on local Craigslist. Seems like a great deal. Has anyone ever run their steel through one of these?

Not sure about the SS types, the originals were a Twin power section, (4 6L6 tubes). You will need a preamp, (or a pre out on your amp).

Bearing in mind that bass amps are good for steel, and those Rhodes things have tons of it, it might, just might, sound monster!

The cabinet has speakers front and back. Guess you could park it in front of you and everyone can hear it.

It appears to be the 5-pin for a Janus model preamped Rhodes piano.



The other issue is the speakers are a strange 32 (thirty-two) ohms.



For $150 if you don't like it someone needing a suitcase for their Rhodes might take it off your hands, for more than you paid for it.

I had one of those with a silver sparkle Rhodes piano (I had a matching silver sparkle Rhodes Bass piano too). The forward and backward speakers provided what I seem to remember was called satellite sound. It rotated the output signal through the four speakers to get a sort of kind of Leslie-like effect. Sounded pretty good with the Rhodes piano, but I'm not sure how it would do for anything else.

As is usually the case, my timing in selling was off. But I only paid $50 for the piano and $25 for the bass--Made a pretty good profit on each when I sold them, but not beaucoup...
