Does your D20 have the "newer" 6V6 amp? You can't tell the finish on the cab's is different unless you look REAL close. I just think it's odd. Did Hammond put more attention into Organ Console finishes than Power Cabinets? Was this a very early prototype C40? Or maybe one of the last built of what the guy with the brush in his hand knew was going to be a discontinued model? Built on a Friday afternoon? The finish IS really nice, I don't want to give the wrong impression...But, the BCV has a nice "piano" finish, the C40 has a nice "furniture" finish. The 2A3's seem to be plentiful (NOS, anyway) on Ebay. I'm not sure if anyone repro's them, but I haven't really looked. Bill threw in a spare amp which I believe came out of a D20 (they seem to be the most common old Tone Cab's). It's slightly newer then the ones in my C40. The tube compliment is the same, but the can cap is different. Mine are shiny boxes, soldered together (all seams are sweated). The newer on is black, with tack welded seams. The resistors in the newer one look like normal modern resistors, although large. The ones in mine look handmade (!?) with hand-painted stripes. The quality of wiring is incredible, though. All soldered connections are painted yellow, maybe as some kind of QC check? What an amp! BCV-KG ----- Original Message -----

Using the 251/351 on A-100 or any other organ with Hammond's "stereo reverb" (A-100, M-100 and E-100 + others?) puts amplified reverb sound on the Leslie cabinet through a separate amplifier and speaker channel. No spinning reverb here. When these organs are used with "normal" single channel Leslies reverb only sounds from the organ speakers.

I've no real experience of using 760 in domestic situation, I'd guess it would sound good even when turned down, the separate treble and bass volume controls could be usefully used as tone controls.

There is a picture of a simple mixer circuit in the files section of the zone's web site . You can use this on A-100 to mix reverb and main signals to the Leslie. It is spinning reverb of course, and you will need an extra echo switch to control where the reverb sound goes. There will also be some loss of volume to the Leslie, unless you use the Leslie at full volume already, you can compensate by turning the volume up on the Leslie.

I think Vintage Hammond has the best prices, last time I checked. Goff and everybody else has them, too. Trek's prices are usually higher than their same merchandise through another dealer. 26-1 I'm not familiar with. I wondered about that when I saw it...I don't think that's a vintage Leslie kit #.

If you had a 251 Leslie, you'd be all set. They were designed for Conn organs, and have a separate channel for Conn's string sounds. This uses a separate wire in the cable (the one used for B+ on 147's). This could be used for the Reverb signal from your A-100. But, with a 147, I'm not sure it's practical to get the Reverb into your Leslie. I don't happen to hate spinning Reverb like everyone else seems to. But, then again, I like Pink Floyd, too. My L-100 has the Reverb integrated into the power amp, and I've got the standard hook-up where signal is taken from the power amp's speaker leads. So, I get Reverb through the Leslie. With the A-100's separate Reverb amp, I'm not sure how to do that. BCV-KG -----Original Message----- |

I'm sure you just jiggled some tubes loose in transit. With the organ off and the tubes cooled down, pull the back off and move the tip of each tube gently in a circle about 10 times. This will help clean the sockets in lieu of a proper cleaning. Then, power up the organ, and listen for crackling. If it's still there, take a wooden chopstick and gently prod each tube to slightly shift it in its socket. Usually this will help locate the noisy one. Once you've found it, turn off the organ, let the tubes cool, repeat the process, concentrating on the noisy tube socket. You can try pushing in and pulling out the offending tube numerous times. If that fails, clean the tube socket with De-Ox-It or something similar. You should probably disconnect the amp and take it out in the open, so you can keep the cleaner from getting all over everything else. DON'T use tuner cleaner, or anything else that leaves a residue. Don't EVER use WD-40. We will all hunt you down and take your can away! High voltages present in tubes will take shortcuts across the oily residue, with disastrous, but often hysterical results.

From: <Doug> Very true. Does a 6147 come with any kind of switches (I know nothalf-moon, are they the dinky under-the-keyboard switches) ? I'm thinking of gettingthe TrekII switch kit that replaces a cheek block and rolling my own hook-up.Yes it comes with switches, it is a little black box that fits under the front rail, it has two white toggle switches. I am not very fond of theese switches, but you can use old half moons or a new set of half moons. theWell, also, I decided (as always) to be difficult. I wanted to supply thesignal to the Leslie directly from the G terminals on the A-100's AO28I was wondering about this ... thinking I'd maybe have to wire a line-out comment that a Leslie going through an internal amp may not sound as goodas coming direct off the preamp - and yes, this hook-up is with amp-lessresistors off the back of the AO-39 and NOT use the ones in the 147. If you used the G and ground terminals on the AO-28 to hook up the 147 your main/echo switch would be cutting the input to the AO-39 instead of cutting the output to the speakers, since the speakers will be hooked up there will allways be a load on the AO-39. If you hook it up off the AO-28 put the load selector in the 147 to open. Cheers, Ron Bell. |
