Oh, I beg to differ! Hammonds can play anything we want them to.

Chris,

That's the 'gain adj.' knob, right? It's on it's loudest setting now. With
the first 5 drawbars on 8 and max. volume I get a nice warm overdrive. Just
love. The neighbours dont like the volume produded on that setting. So I'll
just play whenever they're not around.
About the fuzz sound. Hammonds are not made to play riffs like
satisfaction!!
Cheers,

Gandert

Gandert,
The remark about the distortion on the L was more an attempt at humour
than
anything else. Failure of this choke (inductance) in the reverb section
is
a not uncommon fault in the L-100. The distortion produced is not a
little
bit, like overdrive, it's more like a guitarist's fuzz box pedal, also
the
reverb will not work when the choke fails. You could try turning the
gain
control on the organ power amp up to get a bit of overdrive.

However more overdrive could be usefull once in a while. Where do I find

[hammond_zone] Baby Announcement!

Ken & Dianne Godfrey
 

Hey Zoners!

I just wanted to officially announce the new arrival into our household...

We are now the proud (adopted) parents of a new (to us) little (HA!) bundle
of joy:

A 1937 Hammond C40 Power
Cabinet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She's a little long in the tooth for most prospective adoptive parents, but
we love her. (Well, my wife's a little lukewarm right now, but as soon as I
get her stood up in her new resting place, instead of laying down in the
middle of the living room floor, I'm sure she'll come to love her the way I
do...well, maybe not THAT much, but close.) And, by the way, when a C40 lays
around the house...well, I don't think I have to finish it, do I? Let's just
say my wife has promised to have me buried in it, and I would have PLENTY of
room in there. (She could probably fit my entire LP collection in there with
me!)

Anywho, this thing is like nothing I've ever seen! Two, count 'em, TWO
gorgeous black wrinkle finish power amps that weigh about 60lbs. each.
Powered by 2A3 tubes (4 in each), with transformers big enough to run
industrial equipment on. 20 smokin' watts each!!!!! (Well, the watts were
bigger back then!) Four Jensen Concert Series A-12's (the OLD field coil
ones with the HUGE round covers). The black paint on them is still
factory-fresh and shiny! They look good enough to eat. Shame to cover them
up, actually. I'll post pictures soon.

The quality of construction on the whole thing is just unbelievable! I feel
the same way I did when I first opened up my BCV after bringing her home. I
just can't believe the way they built things back then. Just one small
example: The speaker grill is expanded steel over black muslin between two
wood frames scewed together. The cloth is held onto the inside of the grill
frame with strips of wood. They have a decorative cross-section, and are
stained to match the cabinet. They are INSIDE the thing when the grill is
attached, and you'd never see them unless you removed the grill!
Unbelievable!! They could have just used plain, wood strips. The attention
to detail just amazes me.

And, the whole works is in amazing condition! Strangely enough, the finish
is very shiny, but not as shiny as my console (of the same year), and seems
like a different finishing process was used. The color matches quite well,
and I'm sure a good coat of wax will shine her up quite nicely. But this
puts a new spin on our previous lacquer / shellac / varnish / french polish
discussion. The organ looks like many coats of clear nitrocellulose lacquer,
sprayed on and color sanded between coats. It is slightly crazed, like old
lacquer gets. I only notice the crazing about an hour after I oil it down.

The Tone Cab, by contrast, seems to have much less build, and looks more
like a traditional varnish or shellac, brushed on. There are a few small
drips under the bottom rail.

Still, this C40 is a thing of beauty! The woodgrain Hammond used on the
Cab's isn't the same straight grain used on the consoles. It's a gorgeous
burl grain (could be birch, but Hammond claimed it was burled walnut),
book-matched on the front and sides.

I also want to give a big plug to Bill Giardina of Church Organ Center (the
seller). What a straight, honest businessman, and a true gentleman to boot!
He not only drafted his friend (and church organist who plays a D-152 every
Sunday!) Ernest into helping Bill and I load it, but Bill and his wonderful
wife Linda treated us to an incredible home-cooked dinner!! The BEST
Southern Fried Chicken we've ever had! I just can't say enough about Bill's
hospitality, kindness, honesty and integrity. We had an enjoyable (although
too short) afternoon playing with the 3 organs in his front room, and the
many in his showroom, and just talking Hammonds.

Thanks Bill!

BCV-KG...no, wait!
BCV/C40-KG...uh, BCVC40KG? ...BC40-KG? ...C40BCV-KG??!
...BCVC40HR40147A100147L100330MS20KG!!!

Re: [hammond_zone] hooking up a-100 to 47leslie(ken)

 

Geez ken,i got another ?.Who sells those 6147 kits reasonable.Also,i heard a
26-1 kit would work.Whats the difference in the two kits????????


THANKS again and again.........jeff, By the way i still have the bcv i
just got this great deal on the a100 so i dragged it home.


Re: [hammond_zone] hooking up a-100 to 47leslie

Ken & Dianne Godfrey
 

Jeff,

Just ignore that 5-pin Amphenol connector on the back of your AO39 amp. It
is there to connect a Hammond Tone Cabinet to the organ. You could rewire
it, and maybe hide your hook-up kit inside the AO39, but the easy way out is
just to add on a Leslie hook-up kit. Unless you have the ultra-rare A-100
with the finished back, and you don't want to add holes.

You can buy the 6147 kit from several on-line sources, or you could build
your own. The stock hook-up for a 147 / A-100 combination is what I saw
someone post in response to your question. The AO39 outputs (speaker leads)
feed the Leslie. You use a Tremolo switch to control Leslie speed (with AC
switching), and an Echo switch to select either organ speakers, Leslie, or
both. The console load selector on the 147 amp must be set to 8 ohms! You
get Reverb only through the organ speakers.

The kit is ridiculously simple. Just a small metal box with one 6-pin
connector and some wiring. No other components needed for this hook-up. I
recently did this same hook-up. I was too cheap to fork over the $150 or so
for the kit, so I did my own.

Well, also, I decided (as always) to be difficult. I wanted to supply the
signal to the Leslie directly from the G terminals on the A-100's AO28
pre-amp. I mainly wanted to do this to perfect a hook-up schematic so I can
hook a 147 up to my old BCV (something that God, and Don Leslie never
intended). I ended up using the transformer that was in the 122-style
hook-up kit that came with the A-100 when I bought it to convert the
balanced (2 G terminals) output of the AO28 into an unbalanced signal (1 G
and ground) for the 147.

If you are going to keep the internal speakers in the A-100, I'd go with the
factory recommended hook-up to the speaker leads, and live with Reverb at
the organ only. Why complicate things? It's a very easy hook-up. Let me know
if you need more details.

Hi ron,

The plug on the back of the ao-39 is a five pin think my leslie
type 47 has
a six pin plug on it.I just bought a section of 6 wire cable with ends
already attached.I'll have to switch these around won't I .

Re: [hammond_zone] hooking up a-100 to 47leslie

 

I forgot to mention something.However i get this hooked up i DO want to
maintain my access to the reverb.I would like to be able to have use of it on
the main spkrs or main and leslie.Although i do not want to have reverb
through the leslie(spinning reverb i've heard by other zoners sounds
terrible).Is this possible.I really dislike being so uninformed so please
excuse me for such basic ?'s.Try'in to learn


Jeff


Re: [hammond_zone] hooking up a-100 to 47leslie

 

Ok ken, i'll sure let you know.I'm positive i'll need some help.I do have a
kit that was for a lowery and a few of the other guys have said it might be
able to re-wire it.But i might be wise to get that 6147 kit .I never hooked
up a kit before and am unsure.Although i would love to do it myself just for
the challenge and to gain more practical knowledge.


thanks..jeff

I am not sure about the two big boxes, but I am reasonably sure
that Hammond was hung up on pipe organ sound and
saw the Leslie as beating his time. He would have been better
off coming out with a pipe organ. It is the only way to get the
pipe organ sound. The B-3 sound is so unique with a Leslie that
it is an instrument in its own right. It has no peer other than
its "brothers and sisters" and stands alone in the world of
music. I hear one at least two or three times a day providing
the background to a TV or radio commercial. That is not an
intended slur...it its a complment. Nothing but a B-3 sounds
like a B-3. Hammond did not know enough to realize he had arrived.

I'd guess also that in the early days Hammond saw there main
market as large
halls, where remote siting of the speakers and the console
would have been
necessary. Also acoustically it would have been better to place the
speakers in an enclosure designed to do just one job rather than share a
cabinet with the rest of the works. When home organs became
popular more
compact designs were introduced. In many homes it was probably
going to be
a lot easier to get one large wooden box accepted than two,
even if it meant
compromising the sound. "Husband dearest, if you think you're
going to put
those two great big boxes in my lounge.....................!"

I can see the marketing logic in making it so that only Hammond speakers
could be used, could this be the real reason for Laurens' dislike of the
Leslie?

Re: [hammond_zone] Keys not playing

 

Hi Dennis,

I just got an a-100 last sunday and so far so good.One question though.When
you moved yours to your house did you have any problems with it .After i got
mine home it was making some strange noises through the speakers even though
nothing was on and the volumne pedal was all the way down.The crunchy/static
sounds seem to come and go and don't react to the volumne pedal position.Any
thoughts on this.

Also did you get a leslie with yours.

Yahoogroups

Frank Stroupe
 

For those of you that don't know, Yahoo acquired this email list
service from Egroups, who acquired it from OneList. Obviously, it is
unprofitable.

Never really understood how Yahoogroups, egroups before it, and Onelist
before that, expect to make money off of a free email list anyway. Once you
find the groups you are interested in, you seldom go back to the website to
see the advertising that pays the bills, and most people don't pay any
attention to it anyway.

I might consider paying Yahoo a few bucks a year, if they improved
their system. Every so often, my password quits working, and when I try to
re-register, Yahoo shows that it is still taken. At various times my family
has belonged to up to 30 lists, and it is a real pain to unsubscribe from
all, then resubscribe under another name. Most of the ones I now belong to
I can't get to the website, but never go anyway, and never went to the
trouble of un/resubscribing. BUT ONLY A FEW BUCKS A YEAR! Mainly because
since I joined this list, I seldom read the others, which have all become
boring anyway.

BUT, since most people wouldn't pay, all of the Yahoo lists I belong to
would probably fall apart, including this great list.

There ARE other options, I belong to two lists that run their own
servers. The TYPE1 (post-1967 VW Bus) list "passes the hat" every year for
donations to offset the cost to the guy that owns the server. Paying is
optional, and the guy that runs the server would do it totally out of his
pocket anyway. There are 1400 people on the list, and if they get more
money than they need, they ask that no one send any more money until that
runs out. The type 2 homepage is nicer than the Yahoogroups homepages, AND
THEY DON'T SELL THEIR SUBSCRIBER's email addresses. The Blues-L list server
is run by a university. (I'm sure that the historical aspect/socioeconomic
aspect of Blues music is enough to justify putting that list on the college
server) The Blues-L list is shown on Yahoogroups, but does not use their
server, and though you can apply to join from the Yahoo site, everything is
done elsewhere. They don't sell the addresses either, but by joining
through Yahoo, they now have your address. I have no idea what initial
costs would be, probably just over a grand if you bought your own server,
and maintenance costs probably would involve electricity and telephone
bills, probably some other connection costs, and domain maintenance. I
would imagine that one could use space on a local ISP server to run a list.
The incoming traffic from the list would be probably 1/100 of 1% of the
traffic caused by SPAM on that server.

The reason I mention selling addresses, there is no doubt in my mind
that Yahoo does, as probably do the other free services, which is the only
way to make money from this list. I get somewhere between 50 and 125 SPAM
every day, and I know that most of it comes from people getting my address
from Yahoo, one way or another. I, as probably most of you, get sick of
porno ads, Viagra ads, penis and breast enlargement ads, free cell phone,
free CD, free satellite TV, credit card, debt reduction, second mortgage,
printer cartridge, long distance, ebusiness opportunities, and the ever
popular "Finally, a pill that will increase your ejaculation by 581%!" ads.

Something to think about in case Yahoo does decide to charge for its
services. If I had any Yahoo stock, I'd think about getting rid of that,
too, as it would soon be worthless.

My A-105 HAS the finished back. I'll probably sneak the Leslie cable out the
space in front of the tone cabinet connector, it looks like there's enough
room for it to fit (barely).

You can buy the 6147 kit from several on-line sources, or you could build
your own. The stock hook-up for a 147 / A-100 combination is what I saw
someone post in response to your question. The AO39 outputs (speaker leads)
feed the Leslie. You use a Tremolo switch to control Leslie speed (with AC
switching), and an Echo switch to select either organ speakers, Leslie, or
both. The console load selector on the 147 amp must be set to 8 ohms! You
get Reverb only through the organ speakers.
If you move the reverb amp connection to the AO-39, rather than off the back
of the speaker (5 minute job with wire cutters, soldering iron, and a couple
of wire staples) it may make alternate connections easier.

The kit is ridiculously simple.
Very true. Does a 6147 come with any kind of switches (I know not half-moon,
are they the dinky under-the-keyboard switches) ? I'm thinking of getting the
TrekII switch kit that replaces a cheek block and rolling my own hook-up.

Well, also, I decided (as always) to be difficult. I wanted to supply the
signal to the Leslie directly from the G terminals on the A-100's AO28
pre-amp.
I was wondering about this ... thinking I'd maybe have to wire a line-out
adapter like in BITB to connect a 147 to the AO-28. The Hammond FAQ made the
comment that a Leslie going through an internal amp may not sound as good as
coming direct off the preamp - and yes, this hook-up is with amp-less
consoles as well (not that I'm looking, but if someone dropped a B-3 on my
doorstep...) To disable the internal speakers I'd have to use load resistors
off the back of the AO-39 and NOT use the ones in the 147.

The AO-39 hookup looks easier to do, if I'm gonna do it myself I may try that
first and see if I'm satisfied with the results before I do any more.

Laddie,
On the 122 RV (and the 147RV), reverb was controlled by a control on the
reverb amp. which lives in the top compartment of the speaker next to the
rotors. A remote control kit was available as an extra, this added another
half moon switch to the console with an extra cable to be laid along side
the Leslie cable.

Chris,
On the 122RV is the RV controlled from the console or from the speaker
box?
If in the box, is there some sort of easily accessible control?

Gandert,
The remark about the distortion on the L was more an attempt at humour
than
anything else. Failure of this choke (inductance) in the reverb section
is
a not uncommon fault in the L-100. The distortion produced is not a
little
bit, like overdrive, it's more like a guitarist's fuzz box pedal, also
the
reverb will not work when the choke fails. You could try turning the
gain
control on the organ power amp up to get a bit of overdrive.

However more overdrive could be usefull once in a while. Where do I find

If you want real good diode/class B distortion, get an L-100 and
disconnect
the choke from the anode of the 12BH7 in the reverb drive circuit. With
no
anode load the grid and cathode of the 12BH7 act as a diode across the
signal path, much distortion!!!!

You're right on both counts (weight / space, and reduced signal interference

Raul, so is this what you are saying: The B+ current comes BACK
from the Tone
cabinet to the pre-amp in the console? If thats so that's really
interesting
to me (I'm learning a lot)... Common sense would say that the
power starts at
the console (because that's what plugs into the wall) and goes to
the tone
cabinet... That's an interesting thought that a signal is going in the
opposite direction.

Here's another question... is there another reason, from an engineering
standpoint, why the amp would be in the tone cabinet instead of
the console?
My best guess is that they had to lighten it somehow and that was a good
place to put it. Also in the "B" type consoles there isn't any
place to put
anything in there. I'm just wondering if having the amp away from
the tone
generator makes for a cleaner signal.

Thanks again for your ideas and comments.

George
