Philips 'Reverbeo' B7X14A query
My question relates to the Reverberation Unit. I have refitted the spring line reverb. unit to the rear of the chassis with the spring line facing inwards, and am wondering if this is correct ( I removed it some while ago to facilitate repairs and have lost my note as to which way round it was originally fitted)

Re: Philips 'Reverbio' B7X14A query
Well my Reverbeo looks like this from the back .... I'm sure you have refitted yours correctly.
I must straighten that piece of felt on the back of the reverb unit sometime ... Howard Last edited by Darren-UK; 4th Feb 2009 at 1:34 am. Reason: Huge embedded image changed to thumbnail. |

Thanks, Howard. As it's someone else's radio I wanted to be particularlysure that I'd reassembled it correctly.

Re: Philips 'Reverbio' B7X14A query
Daft question time, I have not seen or heard one of these, what exactly does the reveb spring do, or do I need to open another thread for this
thanks Geof |

It adds a little echo-like quality to the music.

Re: Philips 'Reverbeo' B7X14A query
Nearly electronic organs had (have?) the same sort of reverb spring delay line.
My Saba radiogram does, and I actually use it (sad, I know) but I tend to turn the knob down or off on speech.
