    Description

    Varistor Pair
    Quartet (
    2 Matched* Pairs) of Ceramic Bulk VARISTORS
    (VDR's voltage-dependent-resistors)
    Fired-ceramic components consisting of silicon carbide selected and processed
    for special electrical properties, and dispersed in a ceramic matrix.
    Estey Organ of Brattleboro, VT purchased thousands of Globar Varistors from Carborundum in the mid '50s for their
    Electronic Organ vibrato developed by D. L. Bonham and for their Guitar & Accordion Amplifiers produced by Magna Electronics.
    This rod style varistor is no longer available and the only alternative is a larger disc style produced in the UK.
    A Limited Supply of these authentic NOS components are now available for Repairs & DIY Projects
    For True Vibrato and original tone coloration of the Estey Tonemaster 214 replace the Little Fuse MOV in the Evil Robot Amps.
    * Matched Pairs reduces the excess Tremolo and thumping which develop in some modulators
