Re: HAMMOND - Manufacturing Video (& Leslie story)


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

There is a little-known principle in electronics manufacturing called "Marantzing," named after the CEO of Marantz electronics. Mr. Marantz would walk the factory floor, looking at various procedures. He would ask a worker, "Why are you doing that?" Depending on the answer, he would reply, "Don't do that! It's not necessary." This is how Marantz became successful.

Finally came across an historical promotional video covering Hammond manufacturing information.

Everything "manual" ....no CNC.

Far too many manufacturing details actioned to be able to "survive" today's manufacturing costs.? ? Just imagine "testing every condenser".? ?No present-day "company owner" of anything would ever allow this kind of cost practice.? My experience is manufacturing. I know of no owner who embraced Quality.? They looked upon Quality as an unnecessary evil ...to be avoided or cut altogether ....and then see what happens.




Anyone know if there is a "Hammond expert" in the Vancouver, B.C., Canada, area?

I know there are organs around. They were sold by both "Eatons" (large store chain across Canada) and a private company locally, "Jerome's" ...going back to the 60's and 70's.? I suppose there may now be Suzuki-Hammond ...perhaps represented by a music store(?). And then "what would anyone actually know about Hammond organs"?


On a separate note, not to be "out-done" ....once a file is video file is opened in YouTube, associated video files pop-up ....and this video "History of the Leslie" appeared. I did not know this "history", so it was interesting and humorous to watch. Nothing about manufacturing ...just the story.
