Hello all! First post here.. thanks for help in advance.
I'm looking to rework an older device, a Wulitzer Funmaker organ, to have a 1/4" output, and I have a few basic questions. I'm very new to electronics tinkering, so know that I'm very ignorant.
I was viewing this article/schematic here: http://www.dairiki.org/HammondWiki/LineOutFromASpinet and it seems to apply to this situation, but the values of components may need to be altered, since I'm unsure if it's an 8ohm speaker.
So, here are some of my questions.. =)
What is the purpose of the capacitor in the above schematic?
What exactly are the power restrictions on Line Level?
How can I determine what values will need to be used depending on the speaker rating? If I plan to bypass the speaker entirely, or try this on other smaller/larger devices, how could I determine proper values?
Given that I don't really value the Funmaker too much (it's only $50), is this a decent beginners project? I hope to do this so that I may plug in this organ, direct, to a bigger amp or use headphones and disable the speaker with a toggle. Am I attempting something silly, or is there a different approach?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks very much.
