Or, you can leave your DXR20 hooked up to the A (to provide B+ voltage), and ADD the Leslie of your choice, and select either or both with a classic half-moon Echo switch! BCV-KG -----Original Message----- |

No, in this case, a Model A is just an A. George has the real deal: the ORIGINAL Hammond organ. A piece of history from the mid 30's that Laurens Hammond probably inspected himself, before it went out the door! BCV-KG -----Original Message----- |

You're welcome...or, sorry! (I'm sure your wife wants to shoot me right about now!) :>) One thing I think I might like to do is add a (gasp!) digital reverb to my BCV. I want cathedral-like slap echo! I want about 5 seconds of decay! Unfortunately, I don't think I'll get that with any good old tank reverb. So, when you figure out all the wonders of the AO15331...well, let's just say I'm going to owe you a week's worth of dinners or something! BCV-Ken ----- Original Message -----

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: [hammond_zone] foldback 2
Gandert De Boo
Here is another thought. I spoke to this guy lately who told me how simple it was to add foldback. He said I should just wire the notes from an existing contact to a new contact were the note als should play. This sounds too easy to me. Or was this guy talking crap?

From: Gandert De Boo To: hammond_zone@... Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 8:41 PM Subject: [hammond_zone] foldback While I was looking through some old mails, I saw something about foldback. I know what it is. I also know my l122 don't have it. On the capitan folback site was a link to a folback site so i checked it out. After reading some instructions, I thought it could usefull to take a look in my own hammond. It's all opened up now and i can see now how the contacts are made. But i also can see that getting more to the right of the organ, the number of contacts per key is going less. Now is my question what will i need excactly to add foldback to my l122? This is what I could figure out: 1. 50 contacts per manual, but how do I get these? 2. Wires to connect the notes to the proper contacts. I noticed that the wires that connect the notes to the connects are very thin. Are these special wires? And what are bussbars? I know some of you know excactly what I'm talking about.

I have a l100 and I am very plaesed with the way it sounds on full volume. However more overdrive could be usefull once in a while. Where do I find that ''choke of the 12bh7 in the reverb drive unit''? This isn't a dangerous thing to do, right? Gandert ----- Original Message -----

It's nice to see that we all have some mutual intrests. But really
guys 138 kV and 335 Kv. That's all transmission stuff. I worked distribution 46 kV and down. No space in the back yard for those tubs but there is a place in Montrose Colorado that will take them!! Now for the serious stuff. It's good to see the members of this group offering their prayers and sympathy when greif strikes a friend. That shows that there is truly an indisoluabale bond here that probably goes beyond making notes on the post page. Now on the briter side. I'm looking for 4 6LQ6 or 6JE6C I know they are not Hammond Tubes but those who move in the tube circles might see something like this. I'm also a Ham Radio Operator and my linear amp is getting pretty soft and four of these guys would solve the problem. Keep the faith folks and I will keep checkin' in and wailin' on the old X-77. |

Ouch, Chris!! I said a "little", mate! With that setup, I'd better put zippers around the driver frames! but, no 12BH7, here. This is that little, stinky reverb designed by Packard-Bell. Uses a 6GW8 and carries it's own 6X4 power supply. Handy for the pre-amp.

Ha Ha!!! There's my mate! I agree completey. What you suggest was on my list of to do's. I'll consult with you when I'm ready to begin I have to tell you...I love this pre-amp. It was a really odd duck to me at first, but now.....two seperate push-pull class A triodes on the same chassis, split for you convienence, push-pull pentodes, super triode. What more could one ask for? Talk about easy experimentation! I patched in the MkIV reverb amp with some pots. Viola! Instant deep, rich reverb!

Subject: Re: [hammond_zone] hooking up a-100 to 47leslie While I was at Gulia's yesterday (Canton OH), in addition to the Leslie 251 they had, I also saw a Leslie 415. This is a solid-state, 11-pin, two-channel unit, slightly smaller than a 145 (27W x 18D x 30H vs 145 29W x 20D x 33H) in a wood finish case that was in pretty good condition. It has the main+reverb inputs just like a 251. They were asking $700 for it. I didn't try it out, but I thought about it for my church's A-100, I could've actually stuffed it into my back seat, something I couldn't do with a 145 (that 2" of width makes a lot of difference). 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. I'd never seen that before. Doug Visit The Hammond Zone To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: hammond_zone-unsubscribe@... Your use of Yahoo! Groups is subject to Yahoo!
