Wow, that's awesome.

So I take it it's pretty light? I mean the weight.

yea this unit is very light!

I do not think the tank is original. I've read that they came with hammond tanks and this one is accutronics like the AD30R uses.

The solid state reverb unit on the Orange Field Guide has an Accutronics tank in it. I think 70s is too new to have a Hammond reverb tank. Hammond spun off reverb production to Gibbs in 1964 and then accutronics by 1971.

You could easily be correct, I'm just going off of the 1973 orange catalog which states they came with Hammond tanks. But things weren't always straight forward back then and who knows what parts where laying around at the time.

For what it’s worth, I always like the labels on the tanks made by OC Electronics in Milton, Wisconsin.

This is awesome haha!!! Even better because I live in Wisconsin!

I was not aware the 73 catalog quoted a Hammond reverb tank. They are all Hammond designed so I suppose that is sort of correct.

I’m originally from Wisconsin too, so this is why I know about these tanks. First saw one of these inside a Roland Space Chorus (which I bought in Wisconsin), so I don’t know if that’s what Roland spec’d in those things new or if it was a replacement.
