Dear Hammond Zoners,
I am a fairly new member (about 2 weeks) and I have tried to log into the
site at Yahoo without any results. When I signed up, there was a note on
the page that I would need to verify my e-mail address with a code which
I never received in my confirmation from Yahoo. Can anyone guide me on
what to do to get that confirmation code or any other way to sign in?
I am a Hammond Master Tech and I have been reading, with great interest,
all the messages about again building the old tonewheel generators. I
have always wanted to do something like that or come up with a way to
faithfully duplicate the original electronically. As I have thought
about such a task, I have developed ideas that would be very effective
without sacrificing the original sound. My ideas have been in all areas
of the organ other than the tone generator. I would be interested in any
efforts to reproduce the old tonewheel organs and I would like to be
involved in such a venture.
As far as my qualifications for such a project, I worked closely with the
gentleman at Hammond who was the head of the service department and I
believe he was also involved in product development at one time. Over my
years of working on Hammonds, I developed methods of service and found
ways to rebuild and improve the products. I was often asked by him and
others at Hammond for input as to what I was doing along those lines.
Several things that I was doing or methods that I developed were
incorporated into Hammonds methods and service notes. This is not to
brag but only to state that Hammond Organ Company apparently valued my
capabilities and I was honored to be asked to contribute to such a great
instrument.
Sincerely,
Lyle
Hammond Master Tech
