Re: 22H still humming and I have a 147 next to it that works fine. Somewhere along the way I have nothing connected to pin 5 on the hummer. I am in over my head here,people...HELP !!!


 

Is it safe to assume the H22 won't likely work with a Leslie preamp pedal by rewiring the pins to match the pedal?

Seems that everything about this may not be standard. A stock 147 has a switch next to the volume control marked "Console load" with three positions, "Open", "16 ohm" and 8 Ohm". In a normal installation connected to an organ with built in speakers, this is set to whatever resistance best matches the impedance of the internal speakers, (In practice, I usually set it to 16 ohm. I had many service calls where the 8 ohm resistor had burnt out. As this resistor is half of the 16 ohm load, this resulted in all three settings becoming open.). The open setting would normally only be used in multiple Leslie hook ups, only one of two or more Leslies would need to have the load resistance set, or with the old Leslie combo preamp pedal. The 22H was not intended to be used be used with organs with built in amplifiers and speakers. The main use for H series or 122 type Leslies was with Hammond organs with the G-G output terminals on the organ pre-amp. A kit was available for connecting to other organs, but a 147 or W type Leslie would be the first choice for most organ with built in speakers.

I don't know what you did to try to make the 22H amp compatible with the 147 type hook up, ideally you would have rebuilt the amplifier to be more like the type 47 or W Leslie amplifiers. Simply rewiring the input socket might work, after a fashion, but the input stage would ideally need to be rewired to be identical to that used in the 147 type amplifiers.

As for the load resistor Chris advised,the working amp doesn't seem to have one,just wanted to point that out.
