Rare Schaller Rotor Sound for sale serviced and working. However the effect is not as pronounced as some others we have heard. It may be possible to improve the sound with some further work – but we don’t have time to investigate…
We have swapped the old two pin power socket for a standard IEC socket.

========
This mono unit features controls for Intensity (dry/wet mix) and Speed.
Dating from the mid-late sixties, this has an unusual circuit design using 18 inductors and has a unique sound. I’ve heard that Kraftwerk used them, but can’t recall the source – I would expect these would have been pressed into service on the Krautrock scene as Leslie emulators weren’t overly common back then.
If you turn the Intensity knob fully clockwise you get a wet-only setting – the resulting signal seems quieter than it should be, but this is completely normal.
