The Amp Garage

From the late s through the last s, many retailers, distributors, and music publishing companies contacted for OEM Original Equipment Manufacturer manufacturing with Dickerson, Fators, Magna, and ultimately Estey. This was a big part of their business from day one and it continued to the Harmony, PA days of Estey. In the early days it was probably predominately Oahu and Bronson.

This practice wasn't limited to guitar amplifiers, Estey also many organs in the s along side Estey branded organs for Montgomery Ward and Bradford. Earlier circuits, like the and continued with engineering improvements. Whereas earlier circuits used tube rectifiers, the OEM circuits moved to solid state diode rectifiers. Also, some of these circuits continued to use 6V6GT power tubes, perhaps at the request of the retailer Panoramic, Titano , which Magnatone adopted the A, 6GW8, and 6CA7 for their own line of amplifiers.

One of these improved OEM circuits was the circuit. It could have been the same company or two different companies. The amplifiers wore a silk screened crest, sort of a coat of arms looking thing. The chassis was a regular Magnatone chassis and said "Magnatone" and even a "M" or whatever model.

Because the name "Aloha" is completely absent from the chassis and cabinet, its common to find these in the hands of people that don't know its an Aloha. There was a "Ray Meany" version of amplifier sold with a "Ray Meany" guitar. While the Meany amp was a Magna build, I don't think the guitar was, although some earlier Aloha guitars were Dickersons.

This "Ray Meany" model amp is an interesting transition model between Magna building the chassis in the bottom of the cabinet and the top of the cabinet. The chassis is the same stamped steel chassis that was used in the bottom of same era M Varsity, just screened upside down and installed in the top of the cabinet instead of the bottom. The fuse and jack are even flip-flopped.

This is a variation of the ish vintage Magnatone cabinets. The screened Ray Meany crest is long gone. Estey built amps for someone that sold them under the name Ariatone. Information about this brand is somewhat hard to come by. There were a few different models including a 6V6 powered 8" speaker model as well as the which is an advertised 18 watt push-pull amplifier with an 8" speaker.

Unlike most of the OEM amps Estey made which were generally re-branded Magnatone amp circuits, this circuit didn't seem to be used in any Magnatone amp. In , Ariatone sold some of the Starlite series amps under the name Ariatone. Please contact me if you can provide more information about Ariatone.

Estey made organs for retail store chain Grant's that were sold under Grant's electronics brand name Bradford. George Bronson left Oahu in the 's to start his own music publishing and distribution company. Pictures above is the "Melody King" built by Magna around for Bronson. Notice the BMC logo in the bottom left-hand corner of the chassis on one but not on the other. Although Bronson contacted with Dickerson, Fators, and Magna for many different styles of amps, the Melody King seems to the one that pops up more than other these days.

At right is a or with a "Crown" emblem. I'm not sure about the history of this brand. It might have been a music store brand. I don't think it was related to the famous Crown that made lots of tape recorders and SS power amps in the s and s they were building their own stuff in the early 's.

If anyone knows the story, please contact me. Several amplifiers were built for the EKO brand including the and The R and R featured reverb and were most likely and designs. Excelsior Accordion Co. Along with his brothers, Roberto and Archimedes, Egisto grew the accordion business through the thirties and became a well established name in the Accordion business.

In the forties, younger brother Roberto had a falling out when Egisto brought his son Mario in as a partner. Unhappy with a realignment of equity, Roberto set off on his own to to form PANccordion see below.

In , Egisto moved back to Castelfidardo to open an accordion factory and left the New York operation in the hands of his son , Mario. Edward Pancotti another son, I think was also a key figure in the company as it moved forward.

The Excelsior sales room, head office, and factory were originally all located at Sixth Ave in Greenwich Village. Later they moved to Avenue of the Americas. Excelsior contracted with several amplifier manufacturers for Excelsior branded amplifiers including Valco and Sano. They might have contracted with Estey as well. At some point, Excelsior established a presence in Chicago with an office and factory outlet at North Luna Ave. Excelsior can be found under a few different names Excelsior Accordion Co.

Most Giulietti amps floating around today seem to be Ampeg or Sano amps, but there were a few Estey builds. The above pictured amp is probably from or Harmophone was a St. Louis Music Supply Co. SLM was a major distributor of Magna and later Estey. The Super pictured below is a rebranded Here is the only example I've found of the Honolulu brand.

The sticker says "Phoenix Ariz. The Leilani brand was distributed by Gourley of Santa Monica from the early s well into in the s. The speaker cloth was screened "Leilani" and a sticker was affixed to the chassis. The earlier Dickerson models only carried the Leilani name. The one pictured at right was a Magna era build. There was a "Lyric" Magnatone amplifier earlier in the 's, but these Lyric amps are different.

The earliest one I've seen was from , and they were made through or Lyric later contracted with [Audio Guild] audoguild. The Lyric was a A, B, and eventually the ,. Oahu emerged as one of the larger national music distributors during the at the time when the Hawaiian music craze of th thirties and forties. Oahu still contracted with Magna in the late forties and maybe very early fifties, although soon they switched exclusively to Chicago based OEM's.

Below, the cabinet construction resembles the Bronson above an Oahu competitor. The "Tonemaster" grill area on the front lights up when the amp is powered up. The Don Noble Company of Chicago contracted with Magnatone several times, from the early days of the late 's, through the s including some of the Royalite topped Custom Series , note the M4 pictured at left. Noble also sourced amps from other manufacturers including Ampeg. While Estey and Ampeg were premium amps, much of Noble's catalog offerings were low-end economy models.

These are not very common these days and must have sold in small numbers originally. There were a few models offered, among them were the , and a based on the A.

The pictured is from or and is based on the photo courtesy of John Sisson. Pacific Music Supply Company was the western area distributor for Estey in the 's. The sales region included, not only the pacific coast states, but the ten states west of Colorado as well. Joe Steinhauer was president, and with the main office in Los Angeles, he no doubt, had convenient access to Torrance. The Ernest F. Deffner had sales managers around the country that distributed anything having to do with musical instruments including woodwinds, stringed instruments, as well as accordions and amplifiers.

During the height of the popularity of the accordion, Deffner became a distributor for Robert Pancotti's PANcordion company, and developed a close working relationship with Pancotti.

Later, in early 's, Deffner acquired Titano Accordion Co. For both accordion brand names, Deffner contracted with Estey to build a line of amplifiers. These were re-badged Magnatones. The only differences I've seen, other than cosmetic, might have been speaker choices and control panel layout.

One exception to this is the Titano By , there were some other circuit changes that Estey engineers incorporated into the amplifier see for details. I'm not sure if Deffner continued with the Custom Series. The AGC amps are completely different circuits than the Estey builds, although they do employ the same vibrato circuit. This Titano is forsale at jayrosen. For more more information about Deffner, see www. The Lo Duca Bros.

The initial primary focus to was music lessons. It was impossible to import accordions from Europe, so Tom Lo Duca designed is own and had them made in Detroit. After the war, Lo Duca Bros. At first, the amps were most-likely made by Valco, but they eventually had Magna and Estey manufacture them as well. They also began to import import EKO guitars from Pigini The 's Twilighters were certainly Estey builds.

At some point in the early sixties, Lo Duca also sold the premium Magnatones with the Magnatone name and affixed this medallion to the front to indicate the dealer.

Late 1960s Hohner Contessa CA-200 Amplifier

Hilgen is a defunct American amplifier manufacturer. The company was started in the s in Hillside, NJ. The name "Hilgen" is a combination of "Hillside" and "Gentul. The company made both guitar and bass models, with a T indicating a guitar model and a B indicating a bass model.

Three channels - Guitar with more mid boost, Instrument with a wider frequency spectrum and a stereo channel with tremolo. These amps were built just down the road from Ampeg and utilize an almost identical circuit so you get that great tube driven tone. They were made in over configurations and this is the only one with tremolo and one 15" and one 8" speaker that I have ever seen. The amp was serviced with the tubes tested and speakers re-coned before I purchased it two years ago.

To the Reverberocket. The early and some models used the nice and gritty 6V6 tube for output. This, according to legend, had them breaking up considerable quicker than the largely Jazz-centered Ampeg crowd an image fostered by founder and, in still head honcho, Everitt Hull wanted, and the design quickly shifted to the one most listeners are familiar with with the clean fat-bottomed output tubes. They do have a great clean and crunchy tone. It sounds to me ears being subjective, after all to be a much deeper and more lush verb than the Fenders of the time.
