Hey Gandert!

This is why you should fix your 760 amp:

Chris,

I guess I want to much. If you say the 760 amp sound fine, I just
have to believe you. I never heard one! OK I will focus from now
on to fix the 760 amp.
But first what is the most common think to look for in a broken
760 amp? And how can I connect it to the 26-1 kit(leslie 125).
The motorswitching has almost been taken care of(thanks for that
info on the capacitors BTW). But I will need the +30v for the
crossover, AC for the amp and a signal from the hammond poweramp.
Won't this signal from the poweramp be too loud?

Gandert,
If you want to make your 760 sound exactly like a 122, then
you'll need a 40
watt tube amp, and a 16 ohm bass driver and crossover to match.
If I was
you I'd take the easy route and repair the 760, which is a pretty good
sound, and put the tube amp conversion on a back burner until I
could find
the right parts for the job.

Re: [hammond_zone] Quatermass band

Ken & Dianne Godfrey
 

Ale,

Got the LP! That was a classic. How about Lucifer's Friend, also eponymous
first album, also from 1970? It's a little heavier, but outstanding Hammond
work. Of course, some of our church friends may not exactly appreciate the
topical slant...

There were a lot of great organ sounds bouncing around back then...ELP
("Tarkus" especially!), Deep Purple, Focus, Mott the Hoople ("Brain
Capers"), the first 3 Yes albums (pre-Rick Wakeman)...there was a Ft. Worth
band called Bloodrock. Their (also eponymous) 1st and 3rd ("3") albums are
just dripping with cool Hammond sounds!

Those were the days...

Hi from Italy,

I've just finished to listen a great prog work, dated 1970. It's
performed
by Quatermass from the omonimous album.
Do you know this album? Someone else of you heared it? It's superb! The
Hammond sound and tecnique are amazing. I think that it should be
considered
a prog masterpiece. If you haven't got it...buy or copy it! This is a
must-have for the Hammond army!! :)
What a Hammond hell there...ciao Ale

Ouch! the organist was Peter Robinson.

I copied this from the Gibralter encyclopedia of prog rock. I have
never heard of them before but it is definatley on "to get" list now.
Here is the link to the encyclopedia,


Power trio of keyboard, bass and drums. Straddling the line between
hard rock and prog, there's a little something here to appease fans
of both styles. Keyboards apparently just piano and organ, with the
latter being especially hot-wired to make the keyboardists' style
resemble Frumpy keyboardist Jean-Jacques Kravetz, or perhaps Dave
Stewart at his most maniacal (see "Dreams Wide Awake" for an
example). He can lash out at his organ with a recklessness that puts
Emerson to shame, listen to the solo on "Post War, Saturday Echo" if
you don't believe me. Bass player John Gustafson (pre-Roxy Music)
sings in a uncontrolled, manic voice that can often sound gut-
wrenching. A couple of tracks (the ballad "Good Lord Knows" and the
lengthy jam-orientated "Laughin' Tackle" include massed strings. --
Mike Ohman
Heavy prog. Features Peter Robinson, later of Brand X. Robinson's
organ is predominant instrument.
Just a snippet about Quatermass, a band I just had cause to look up:
it may amuse GEPR users to know that bassist John (then "Johnny")
Gustafson began his career in a sub-Beatles, matching suits-and-ties
type beat "combo" called The Big Three. There were, indeed, three
of 'em - clearly trios were his thing. -- Roger Thomas

you'll find others pretty easily.

Just like the guys (to momentarily digress into a parallel hobby) who have

Hi Brian,

Don't offer him very much for the lot, you don't know what is wrong with
any of the equipment and it all may only be a source of parts. If the
organ and TC's are worth so much to him, why is he storing them in a
shed? As a point of info, a very good friend just bought an excellent B3
in great working order that included a PR40 for less than $2000.00. That
was the retail price. I would have to look at the equipment in a warmed
up situation before I would offer anything and at that point, I may not
be willing to pay more than $400.00. And, that would be in working
condition with everything there and not poorly cared for. I would be
very cautious and I am a Hammond Master Tech who knows what is going on.

The man had it out in his shedd and we just had a huge snow storm so
it was

organ.
I thought it was just too cold out for it to work

My question to all you zoners is how much is this thing worth???

Add another proud parent of a tonewheel organ. I bought a
beautiful M-147 last night. Wasn't positive if I was going to
buy it until
I walked on the front porch of the previous owner. I stood there
listening
to him play it for a few minutes, and that's all I needed. The case is in
perfect condition, haven't found a flaw. The Leslie 120 that came with it
also is in beautiful condition. The half-moon switches aren't even
scratched. The top of the bench was cleaned with something that it
shouldn't have, and took some of the lacquer off of it. It plays well,
though the buss bars are kind of dirty.

He didn't really want to part with it, though the A-102 and Model 47
Leslie he recently purchased will ease his sorrow.

Now just to learn how to play it.

Hi Group,

Just as a bit of info on the design of early Hammonds and other
electronic equip with the amp in the tone cabinet as opposed to inside
the console.

In the early days of electronics it was common practice to put
the amp in
the TC because of several factors. The most important one being that old
style circuits generated a great amount of heat and there needed to be
much natural air flow and space in order to keep things cool above and
under the chassis. Can you imagine what would happen to an amp, such as
the type used in a C40, if mounted inside the closed console? It would
melt the wax off the caps, cook the tar out of the transformers and fry
in short order (or drive you away from the keyboard after playing a few
pieces) to say nothing of what all that heat would do to the rest of the
organ. Also, the power supply (B+ portion) generated the greatest
percentage of all the heat, thus the reason that it was in the TC on the
amp chassis. The reason for all the heat is that the power produced by
those old units, even though rated at 40 watts, was much higher than
today's 40 watt units and, yesterday's tube circuits weren't as
efficient
a design as today's are.

If you want to prove this to yourself, just look at the difference in
size of the tubes and other components over the years. With the old
tubes, it was necessary to provide area of glass for
dissipation of heat,
and plate size to prevent overheating and warping of the plates
and other
elements. The way that the early tubes heated up, one would get quite a
burn if touched with bare fingers, yet, many of the newest tubes can be
pulled from the socket by hand if you have tough fingers or a thin rag
for protection. The old tubes (type 2A3 and etc.) would start a rag
smoking and it could even start to smolder and burst into flame with
time. In addition, the older balanced circuit amps had twice as many
tubes per stage as today's circuits and only one stage per
envelope. The
heat developed in the circuitry of a BV/C40 is considerably more than
that produced by the circuitry in an A100 which is self contained and
doesn't require the old, higher power consuming amps, to drive the
speakers.

So, as can be seen, Hammond was not trying to corner the speaker/amp
market, it was building to the requirements of the era of design to say
nothing of the fact that the amp was designed to handle the heavy bass
requirements of an organ, a leaning more toward bass, instrument.

Lyle,
Hammond Master Tech

Bill,

I think you're absolutely right!

The only time you may notice those subtleties of sound would be in a
recording atmosphere, or your own living room. Most of the top players over
the years had a stage set-up they would never dream of recording with.

I think a 760 has at least 80% of that classic Leslie sound, and 90% of the
population would never know it's not a 122 or 147.

Yeh, I think you hit the nail on the head. Especially because the poor A-100

I really need to order a kit from Goff for it. I've been dreading it,

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.

Re: [hammond_zone] nice leslie

Ken & Dianne Godfrey
 

Bill,

Well, it was actually George who's polite to the elderly...but, I guess I am
too.

I still haven't got the C 40 hooked up to my BCV, yet. I am gathering parts,
though. The one spring that was missing is proving to be pretty difficult.
But I've still got a lot more places to check.

I still need to check the wiring harness, and tape or heat shrink the bare
section, if I don't end up replacing the whole thing.

And, the missing anchor bolt for the amp was a piece of cake. Well, actually
an exact replacement would be like a needle in a haystack. For the
uninitiated, it is basically an 1 1/2" long piece of 3/8" steel round stock
with 1/4"-20 threads turned on one end, and a 1" brass square swaged onto
the other end. If I was putting it in the Smithsonian, I could make an exact
duplicate, but I ended up finding an "elevator" bolt and steel sleeve at the
local Mom'n'Pop hardware store that I can make work.

I thought the elevator bolt was TOO perfect, 'cuz if Raul and I want to turn
the C 40 into a condo high-rise resort along with his D 20 ("Twin Towers
Resort"?), we're gonna need an elevator!

OK, that was pretty bad!

George,

Well, farm kids have to cut loose once in a while, too, right?

Actually, I think I would cry if you or anyone were to butcher up your
DXR-20.

BTW, have you done anymore in the way of hook-up attempts?

BCV-Ken

You could restyle your DXR-20 the same way!! Saw a big hole in
front of the
rotor, get some dayglow Krylon and a couple of blacklights, get yer
bellbottoms and paisley on, and you'd be STYLIN'!!

...well, maybe not.
Keep in mind, I was raised in a rural area, went through 12 years
of 4-H, I
play the organ for church, I'm polite to the elderly.... and you
think I'm
going to ruin my reputation with a out of control tone cabinet??? :) G.

Re : Tonewheel generator description

Ha! All this stuff is so great I feel like I'm ready for my doctoral exam. I just missed the dingle arm thing but now it's ok.

Now serirously Doug, thanks for the mosweb page though, I think I have gathered enough information lately to introduce the TWG to all the laymen at my school. Keep preaching guys, keep preaching.




Original message :

A special tool is required to remove the dingle arm. This is
because it's buried under the lower udatulator plate. This tool,
which was Hammon part # B2-02T564, consisted of a stratifed pentagrid
plate modulator that would maintain the algebraic relationship of the
generator coil flux to the magnetic field set up by the nofer
trunnions. With this relationship maintained, the dingle arm can be
withdrawn through the fennel orifice with out fear of excessive skor
motion.

Good News--I found the dingle arm under the plate just as you said
and I bent it slightly while playing a C AUG chord on the upper
manual with all the drawbars out--I could hear the growl increase as
I bent it--I stopped at exactly 15 degrees 30 minutes as measured
with a laser refractor doo-hickey otoscope. This is the optimum
setting for just enough growl and mininum distortion. Be aware that
bending to far will raise the emitter levels of the two torsional
bias transistors to a dangerous level and could result in a complete
meltdown. As with any modification--"your results will vary"


going the 'other' way......

we've been talking about making Hammonds sound like pipe organs, what about the other way around. I can make my Rodgers 960 sound like a Hammond, by drawing all the flute stops, coupling everything to the GREAT at all pitches (sub, unison, super), and drawing all the tremulants. Rodgers organs have adjustable tremulants, which allow the organist to set them to their individual tastes. Usually though, I have them set at the same rate as a pipe organ.......very subtle. Of course, I can always hook up a Leslie to the organ, but that's verboten!
