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. Chris Clifton

Re: [hammond_zone] Quatermass band
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

Re: [hammond_zone] CV and two tone cabiniets
Good point about the shed, Lyle.
I'd low-ball him, too. CV's with D 20's aren't very rare, if you pass it up, you'll find others pretty easily.
I think this guy thinks he's sitting on a gold mine.
Just like the guys (to momentarily digress into a parallel hobby) who have some old 6-cylinder '67 Mustang sinking into the mud out behind the barn. "That's my baby! Gonna fix 'er up some day. Wouldn't dream of partin' with 'er...'less o'course you got 'bout 10 grand in yer back pocket!"

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.

Hey everyone I just found a hammond cv with two tone cabinets. The organ itself is in excellent condition other than a couple water marks on the top from plants.
The one tone cabinet is a pr-40 and the other is a tall tone cabinet. I have never saw it before so I wouldn't know what it is. I know enough that it is not a 31h Leslie so does anyone know what kind of tone cabinet this is???
The man had it out in his shedd and we just had a huge snow storm so it was like ice out there. The tone generator fired but no sound from the 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??? The man said he would take $900 for it. I am a college student looking for some extra money so I would want to sell it when I bought it. DO you think this is a good deal and is it worth it???

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

Re: [hammond_zone] leslie 760 amp
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.

Re: [Hammond_zone] M101 VS C3
Raul,
Yeh, I think you hit the nail on the head. Especially because the poor A-100 is relegated to the breezeway, which is marginally heated. It's usually about 55-60 out there.
I really need to order a kit from Goff for it. I've been dreading it, though. I've done a couple of those before, and it gets pretty tedious. About 1/3 of the way through, you're asking, "How many Tonewheels does this thing NEED, anyway!?"

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
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!

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!
