I just bumped into this on Paul’s Electron Gate site:
good info!
“1984 classic jam of bassist Buddy Hankerson of “Steve Arrington’s Hall Of Fame” just having a funky good time, “Glory be the funk’s on me” i feel the presence of the Stellarship…!!!”

I had this idea a while ago but today was the day to build! The studio has had a pair of WE111C transformers in the patch bay for 10+ years. These are beautiful vintage transformers from the 1940’s and they have a nice tone for musical purposes. They are big and ‘classic’ sounding but tend to work better with slower musical styles. I wanted more options for transformers in the patch bay and i came upon this idea: What if i had a box with three sets of transformers on one switch so i could choose flavors on the fly?!
I love recycling parts and tracked down some transformers. I also tracked down an old 9 pin switching box which appeared to be made for this job!
I left the transformers on 9 pin connectors so i could swap them with others in the future. I also though about putting coil tap switches on the front and maybe a pair of octal sockets for other vintage transformer choices.
The main switch has three positions: Bigger, Smaller, Different.
The big transformers are Jensen 123 BL series console line output transformers ( pretty big but not nearly the size of the WE111C ). The next set is a normal sized set of Jensen Line transformers, and the third set will probably be some Opamp Labs T25’s or Altec etc vintage octals…
