The nicest Tel-Ray Super Organ Tone I have ever seen.....or heard.

This started out as a regular amp-repair video, but when I opened a viewer's gift box, the contents were so impressive (and unusual) that I decided to feature it instead of the amp repair. As you will see, it arrived in urine-soaked disrepair, but rapidly cleaned up to be virtually "show room" new......both in appearance and performance. This is a rare opportunity to both see and hear a pristine version of this rare electromechanical effects device.

As mentioned in the video, you can also support our channel by donating vintage gear to be repaired and featured in a video, then sold to viewers.
Please NOTE: I no longer repair oil can devices, simply because of the possible toxicity of the old oil and the inability to obtain replacement parts necessary to restore proper function. Hopefully, my videos will assist you in the repair of your own T-R Oil Can units.

The inventor was named Ray Lubow. Really a brilliant guy and created many cool inventions, including the Morley line of pedals. I'm working with his family to do a website on his history, explain how things came about, show some examples of his designs. Glad you could get this one working so well, there was the weird period of the 1990s when no one knew anything about them. There's still a little mystery going on, but most of the units are capable of being restored again nowadays...

[@UncleDoug]

Thanks for your input and assistance in gaining proper recognition for Mr. Lubow and his engineering prowess.

What a nice gesture to send you that! I am often floored by the generosity of viewers on here. It's great to see them supporting you like they so often support me with such contributions. It is much deserved in your case, Doug. I have one of these Tel-Ray cans I'm going to need to service that came stock in a 60s Gibson amp...that's IF I can ever get around to servicing my own stuff again.

I have not gifted anything besides a pocket full of change for a coffee here and there lol But i know you are also deserving of all the gifts you must have gotten over the years, as you are an inspiration when it comes to taking something left for dead and converting them into sweet sounding amps, Because of your examples and experience and the teachings of Doug, I got into buying old radios, reel to reels, intercoms... and made a few sweet looking and sounding amps. God bless both of you and a huge thank you to the both of you for sharing your knowledge and for inspiring. I know i messaged Doug more than once with what could seem like silly questions and never did i feel looked down on and always got helpful answers. Thanks guys.

I installed one of these Tel-Ray oil can units in the floor of my Fender Twin Reverb Amp in the 70's, when my spring reverb tank broke.

[@southboundsuarez9832]

Hey Unkie! Phew!!!! took me a bit to overcome that caffeine espresso hangover from keeping up with all the marvelous comments! Anyways thanks for sharing this grand ol' beautiful looking relic from the past! Of course beauty is in the eye of the beholder,,,, well it looks luscious. However, for my preference and tonal pleasure, this device just does not do anything for stimulating any form of euphoric audio response or sensation to my musical spirit. Don't get me wrong,,, I fully appreciate the wonderful condition of this antiquated technology and the purely analog electromechanical novelty of signal manipulation. But it is somewhat obvious to me that there are many reasons that spring reverbs succeeded where as the complications and costs to produce these devices did nothing to return such expense of investment in the form of tone versus effort. But awesome and rich example of the past none the less. The electromechanical forms of echo, delay are indeed a rich exploration! Tape delay and playback is intriguing! I had accidentally experienced this as a kid, messing around and pretending to be a recording artist when I found access to a four track reel to reel! I would think at some point I would have already played around with an Echoplex, but it's just something I have yet to fully experienced or have targeted in my quest for tonal nirvana! I suppose I am now just an old time strictly "plug it straight into the amp" and dime everything kinda guy. That is my type of effects!Anyways,,,, THANK YOU, both,,,, you for sharing and to your very loyal viewer for sharing this device with you and in essence sharing it with all of those in KZbin land! For further general comment and topicality,,,, I must also mention how awesome it is to come along many of these dust encrusted diamonds, that are not so far into the rough as they may first appear! Ya gotta just love it when you can hit a jackpot by only stripping away several decades worth of dust and/or grime. I just came to the realization that the military and industry of past years used to use creosote when mothballing surplus for extended storage. Coincidentally, tobacco tar and nicotine has many similar properties as creosote! I have just been exchanging the creosote like properties of nicotine (like 57 years worth!) for a little of the elbow grease and I am especially very happy to find myself going back into my own time machine altered reality as I have been unearthing a Blackface,,, just as it must have nearly came off the showroom floor! Gotta love those relics that time has forgotten! Now if I might just get lucky enough to excavate an old Burst!!!! Well, I won't hold my breath waiting on that ol' Lester! But I won't jinx myself either,,, ya never know? I count my blessing everyday for the good fortune I have already experienced! Thanks for everything you share Unkie! Your experiences are rich and you are generous with those fortunes! Love your new workshop pal! I never was a Cat person but I now have my very dog like but independent feline " Rocky Main Coone" . He actually rides in my truck back n forth to the shop to keep me wonderful companionship. Bless our furry friends and pets!
