Ken,
That's 'cause this time of year where you live it's so cold your fingers chatter on the manuals and make weird sounds.... In all seriousness, though, some have asked "How can you duplicate the LC match that Hammond set up at the factory with a cap kit?" The answer is thus: You can't. The man who originally matched those caps and coils has probably gone to worm. If I have a TG .1uF paper (wax) cap that now measures .0001uF, would I be better off retaining that cap simply because Hammond put it there or would I be better off replacing the cap with a .1uF of better material and chance a 2% tolerence in value? I think the answer is obvious. BTW, I measured all the caps in my Goff kit and they were within .01% of stated value. I'll bet any day that a 40 year old Hammond with new caps will sound better all around than one with old paper "wax" caps. Just time and physics at work.

I think my A-100 needs about a dozen RC kits! I get a lot of crosstalk
between the Tonewheels. Of course with some of the stuff I play, it's not
really that noticable!
