Re: [hammond_zone] faulty hammond or leslie?

I doubt you will find any PCB's new for the B200. Its possible you could get one second hand, but then it would be as old as yours.
?
If its just the edge connectors you can get a special abrasive tipped pen which takes all the crud off of the contacts on the PCB. its a fiddly job but well worth it.
?
The worst thing you can do..(I know because I did it once!) is to add new solder to the PCB edge connectors..it doesn't work..in fact made things worse.
?
If you really love your B200 its possible to clean the contacts on the PCB sockets too..but its very fiddly and very time consuming...something your engineer might not want to tackle

i also have a b200 with an 822 leslie and have experenced the same problem
more than once, espicially after transporting it and setting it back up and
even though i am not brave enough to try to repair the problem myself it has
always been the solder joints- like darren said- sometimes plugging and
unplugging 2 or 3 times will cause it to opperate and a couple of times i
have even put a little pressure where the leslie plugs into the hammond and
have repaired it--- to slove the problem of -is it the organ or is it the
leslie i bought? a pre amp for the leslie which i thougt was a very smart
purchase-- now i ck to see which one is at fault--- my tech tells me i
really need a new mother board for my b200 but he says they are
unavailible--- does anyone know if that is true??? when i travel most times
i take the b200 -- but when im home-yep you gussed it--- the b3-?? bluesb3
