Fuck that, red pearloid calls for an electric accordion!!
Ha! It was originally paired with a lap steel, but Valco did call the colour 'Accordion red'!
I've been working on the wiring a bit, based on http://crawlsbackward.blogspot.com/2016 ... supro.html
Plus I worked out that the step-down transformer output voltage is only 100VAC, not 110, so that might be why it's a bit more polite-sounding than others.
I have a '51 Spectator which I need to get up and going again. It's never been touched inside and still has the original field coil speaker.
