Yes, sad, but true...
Actually, Vox built a thing sort of like this back in the late 60's. It was
a Barris custom that looked like a giant guitar. It had on-board
amplification, and a Vox Continental organ mounted at the rear!
...wait a minute!!! LINCOLN, Nebraska...Vox CONTINENTAL!!! Omygod, it must
be some kinda UFO alien conspiracy!!
BCV-Ken

Tell me about that!! I had two 67 Mustangs when I was in High
School... I
was a "gearhead" then and now i'm now into tone wheels. I
worked on these
things, thought they were precious, thought everybody else
should think they
are precious, and then when I went to sell them nobody wanted
to give me any
$! My mom ended up keeping one of them because she thought it
was cool, got
the engine rebuilt at a local vo-tech and kept it for years,
and today I
drive a Honda Accord (it has a stick shift, that's a remnant of my High
School days) which I never open the hood on... I couldn't fix
it anyway!
There is a similarity between engaging the clutch and the
run/start on a
Hammond... In fact sometimes when I'm shifting gears and my CD
player is
blaring Jimmy Smith I imagine the transmission is full of tone wheels
instead. A friend of mine just replaced an electronic sensor
that is on the
differential of his Dodge Dakota pickup described in some
product literature
as using "tonewheel technology." The sensor measures
revolutions of a gear
and that information goes to a computer to tell the truck how fast it's
going. Now here's my idea: Now why not wire these sensors in to
a keyboard
and amp in the back of a minivan so that a a tonewheel
"hammond" can be an
option like power windows??? Just think of it.... Instead of
watching an
innane video, your restless children can bop some funky tunes
as you toodle
down the interstate or as Mom takes them to soccer practice.
Ther'es an old
Hammond ad that I've seen for sale on Ebay telling how your
Hammond Organ
makes children happy... and I'd add this update "In the minivan!"
