The most annoying part is the drop out as the contact moves from one busbar to the next. Last night, I removed the entire assembly from the organ. Then my 6 year old daughter did the honors of disassembling the drawbars once I loosened the spring screws. She knew EXACTLY what was going on. "Daddy" she says, "are we going to make these drawbars smooth like the C-3's?" Hmmmm. So, I know that many folks have transplanted late bar assemblies into the V and 2 units. But, looking at the bus rail, I says, "Self, I don't think we need the whole shootin' match here". So I went over to the C-3 and de-soldered and removed one of the drawbar spring contacts. Taking it to the CV rail, I found that all that's needed is to bend the mounting end of the spring about 30 degrees to properly tension it onthe straight drawbar (the ends of the C-3 drawbar are bent about 30 degrees). I screwed it onto the CV drawbar and Viola! Instant smooth drawbar. Resistance checks indicated the exact same contact pattern as the C-3. So, I'm looking for a set of contact springs from the *-3, A-100, etc. I believe the spinets had smooth drawbars, too. Raul ----- Original Message -----

YOU are the man that alerted me to this CV. You wouldn't recognize it now! You well know I couldn't figure this amp when we first spoke of it. I was trying to figure how we could modify it to accept an effects loop and all that, remember? Then I drew out the circuit and I was amazed! Even t_402 was blown away, and that says something. Now, I think I'd rater work with the ole AO-13551 than the AO-28! I've been drawing and scheming and scheming and drawing. This will be quite a rig when it's done, I believe. Now, if I can move the C-3, I'll have the space I need to really get into it. I know I'm not the only one, but I'm just dying over those 2 waterlogged Bs on EBay. If I was just a little closer....

Re: hooking up a-100 to 47leslie
The 415 only had a 12" bass driver and severely lacked bottom end.
But with a decent speaker upgrade in their they are much better...as far as tranny Leslies go they are quite sweet. And as you say..nice cabinet too. We normally let them go out at ?450 serviced with new bass driver and are popular among home organ type players because of the rather punchy straight channel. Darren While I was at Gulia's yesterday (Canton OH), in addition to theLeslie 251 they had, I also saw a Leslie 415. This is a solid-state, 11-pin,x 33H) inmain+reverb inputs just like a 251. They were asking $700 for it. |

Incidentally, the 251 they had apparently started life as a 147RV (it had the 147RV sticker on the back). The amp had been swapped and the reverb unit removed, leaving just the stationary speaker for the reverb channel. It was "over $1,000" but I didn't ask specifics. They were willing to sell it solo. They also had a B-3/142 pair there, plays well, case looks awful, for $3500, and numerous CV's, A-100's, an A, etc. They also had an XB-3A, a very nice Allen and - of all things - a Kawai that had drawbars/percussion.

Re: [hammond_zone] BV question
Randall Bush
I'm in the middle of adding reverb right now on my CV. I have a MKIV unit from an M-3 that I'm putting right into the console. The amp is on a very small, square chassis. It has it's own power supply using a 6X4 rectifier and a 6GW8 triode/pentode two stage amp. I've modified the power supply to provide the B+ for my pre-amp in lieu of a tone cabinet. Now, I'm going to insert the reverb line into the signal stream just like the vibrato is. I'll use a swith to bypass the reverb completely when it's not wanted. The output of the first section of the preamp found at the vibrato line will feed both the vibrato line and reverb amp input. The output from the vibrato line and reverb amp will feed the input of the second section of the preamp. What I'm working on now is the impedances and signal levels for the reverb amp. I'll keep you all posted. As far as overdrive is concerned, I have a theory I'm going to try out once I have the reverb worked out. The input of the second preamp section is a 6J7 pentode connected in super triode configuration. I'm going to experiment with the voltage levels on the different grid elements to see if I can drive the stage into class B clipping while maintaining the same volume level. One thing George Hiatt was talking about is adding a little bit of "dirt" at lower gain levels. I think it can be done. I'll keep you posted on this one, too.

Re: [hammond_zone] foldback
Chris Clifton
Foldback is where at the ends of the manual notes "foldback" because not all
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
the frequencies are generated. On B3/C3 at the bass end of the manuals the bottom octave on the 16' drawbar foldsback because the first 12 tonewheels produce a complex tone only used for bass pedals. At the top end the !' drawbar has fold back from the F# in the 4th octave, the next G actually plays an octave lower, and this repeats after the F# in the top octave. Lower drawbars foldback progressively higher up the keyboard, until on the 22/3' drawbar there is foldback only on the top note. Spinet Hammonds don't have foldback, the notes just stop playing when the organ runs out of generator frequencies. I remember one time when an irate T-500 owner phoned the shop up after I'd serviced the organ complaining that half the notes didn't work on some drawbars. He'd decided to test the organ for himself after I'd left and then found the "fault" which is a feature of all Hammond spinets!
