One is a tremolo switch and the other is the main/echo/ensemble switch.

Re: [hammond_zone] Keys not playing

Dennis Westbrook
 

Jeff,
I paid to have mine moved as there was a staircase involved. There was no
particular problem after it was moved. However, I have had some strange
squeals or 'ghost' sounds from time to time and always the problem was that
I had inadvertently pressed more than one of the color inverted presets to
the left of the manuals and the solution was to depress the "C" to cancel
all presets and begin again. Congratulations on finding your A100. I hope
your sound solution will be as easy as I have described above. Yes, I did
get a Leslie of sorts. It is a modified beefed-up 2-speed (I was quite
surprised to find that means 'On and Off')120 cabinet with a larger speaker
and larger amp in it--no horn. The 122 of my dreams is still waiting to
find me at a price I can afford. I can't complain about the volume, though.
It is a wonder my neighbors haven't been knocking on my door. But then
again, maybe they have been and I didn't hear them!!
Dennis

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.

Chris;

I don't understand.
The Leslie 251 and 351 use the same 251 amplifier, have the same speakers.
The cabinet for the 351 is a firniture cabinet, just not the typical luvered
leslie look.

The 251 was definitely the better match for the A-100 or M-100, it was a
very rare installation in these parts though. I can only remember seeing
one A-100+251 installation within a 100 miles of here, most A-100's were
sold with 147's or 122's, not even the RV version most of the time!!! If
you want to add reverb control to an RV Leslie, all you need is a suitable
length of two core wire and a 100 ohm wirewound variable resistor. Mount
the control in a suitable place on the console. Break into the wire from
the reverb amp. to the speakers and wire the variable resistor in series
with the speakers.

Laddie,
The reverb control kit for the *RV Leslies is a switch, you have a
choice of
off, medium or full. The full level is set by the control on the RV
amp.

Twin 145's

 

Hello to all
Four days ago I purchased another 145 which came with a Y
connector, there was no speaker but I had an old "SRO" Electro voice
15inch which I dropped in, also thanks to this wonderful group I was
able to take out the amps of both my 145's and change all the caps
myself. I cleaned up the amps and the prongs on all the tubes. Guys!,...
I'm truly flying while sitting in between these two leslies, it is just
awesome!!!
On another note,.. Last night I was out to see "Doug Riley" using a
C3 / 122 in a cool little jazz club, I got there early to get a seat so
I could watch his hands. If you ever get the chance to see this man DO
IT!!!.......... He frightened me, literally.
If anyone else out there uses two leslies I'd like to hear your take
on using them live, like placement, speed etc.
Gotta scoot for now,.........


Re: [hammond_zone] Dirt at lower leves WAS Re: BV question

Laddie Williams
 

Thanks Chris,
I think I really understand. This would mean another wire from the Leslie to the console, but that is really not a problem. BTW
when the pros do this do the let that two core wire hang or tie to the main cable with a wrap of plastic electrical tape every two feet or so? Trust me.. with all your help and that of others, there will be a good Leslie on my A-100 very soon. I don't think you ever commented on the loudness problem of a 760 in a typical living room. Should I be crying big tears because I missed the bid on a 770 by $50.00???

Subject: Re: [hammond_zone] Keys not playing


Hi Dennis,
As the problem is intermittent and random, I would guess the problem is
dirty key contacts. Check out your key contacts by playing all the keys one
at a time with just one drawbar out, start with 16' then 51/3' and so on.
Usually you can clean a contact by tapping the key in a staccato manner some
20 or 30 times, (just play a rapid trill on one note) until the note clears.
It is worth persisting with this as the alternative methods of cleaning
contacts involve a lot more work.
My second line of attack would be to use the buss-bar shifter, at the back
of each manual, (accessible from inside the organ) at the treble end of the
keyboard is a brass knob about 1/4" across with a screwdriver slot. By
turning this you can move the contact buss-bars a little to the left or
right bringing a fresh contact surface under the key. That's the theory
anyway, in practise for every contact you get working well 20 others start
playing up! Used in conjunction with method one, you can eventually get all
the keys to play satisfactorily. Really stubborn cases may require using
the buss-bar shifter while holding a key or keys down, this will scrape the
contact along the top of the buss-bar, cleaning it. Caution is advised
here, it is possible to pull the contact wire off the buss-bar doing this,
it's never happened to me but I have heard of this!

The most drastic cure would involve removing the buss-bars from the manuals
and physically cleaning them before replacing. It's very unlikely you would
need to go this far however. Persevere with the first method before going
for major surgery.

Thanks Chris...I am beginning realize that the A-100 console control is virtually useless unless you have a 251 Leslie.

Laddie,
The reverb control kit for the *RV Leslies is a switch, you have a choice of
off, medium or full. The full level is set by the control on the RV amp.

Hello again. I have another problem. the bakelite 6 pin plug on one of

one i am sure is dangerous.To Steve at Speakasy hope you have this in stock
also. i will then make arrangements for payment Thanks.

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

Ron Bell
 

: To hook a 147 type Leslie to an AO-28 you use one of the G terminals and
the brown ground terminal.

As for the difference betrween the AO-28 vs AO-39 hookups. The AO-28 hookup
will give you the classic "B-3" sound.
The AO-39 will give you a sound with more bass, the AO-39 rolls-off the
treble so it sounds bassier. Both sound very good, some prefer one and some
the other.

I have hooked up my A-100 both ways and prefer the AO-28 hookup for rock,
and the AO-39 hookup for jazz {it make the left hand bass real beefy!!}.

Cheers,
Ron Bell.
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.

Doug

Re: [hammond_zone] going to look at my 1st Hammond

 

Frank,

Hey, an M-100 with 120 Leslie is a pretty respectable set-up. You won't be
touring with Hall & Oates with it, but it's still a Hammond, still has
"that" sound. You can still play "Whiter Shade of Pale" and sound pretty
authentic.

And, NO Leslie is worthless! I think the price is not too bad, either. Try
offering him $300. I saw an L-100 with 145 (better Leslie than the 120, has
40-watt tube amp) in a music store a while back, and the guy wanted $1400
for it!! I thought he was high as a kite, but I happened to be back in there
a few weeks later, and the thing was gone! Don't know how much they ended up
getting for it, but...

Subject: [hammond_zone] going to look at my 1st Hammond


Ok, I'm going to look at what will be my 1st tonewheel in the next couple
of
days. An M-143, with a Leslie 120. (I know, the leslie is unamplified and
nearly worthless, but will probably be the platform for a future homemade
project) I've seen photos, it is in excellent cosmetic condition. He
wants
400 bucks for it, which is a little high compared to Ebay, but it's only
about 30 minutes away, and already has a Leslie kit. The guy has owned
other tonewheel organs, so he is not totally ignorant of them, but I am
not
automatically assuming he knows much about servicing them. Hopefully, I
will be carrying a friend that owned a B-3 and M-3, but he has not played
the real thing in over 30 years, and admittedly has forgotten most
characteristics.

Besides the obvious, (won't power up, squeeling noises, lots of static,
wires hanging out of the back, shredded speakers, etc) what should I
specifically look at? I figured the first thing I would do is play a
chord
and individually pull each drawbar, to see if each work. Try each key and
pedal, try the expression pedal, percussion, vibrato, reverb, leslie, and
presets.

Any other suggestions?
