Mylar Cap business
Brian Williams
I have a 1956 B3. I know it has the old wax paper capacitors and it sounds really good. I was wondering if putting mylar caps would make it sound better. If if it would make it sound new and cleaner then how much would it cost to have this done??? How big of a surgery is this?? WHo might be qualified to do it??? I am 19, an engineering major in college, and very limited in my knowledge of electronics. THe most mechanical I have gotten with a Hammond has been from putting new tubes in to installing a new treble driver. Think I am up to the task???? Anybody

What was the " LIST PRICE " of the B3 when it came out that year?

He has had the B3 in a box for some time and is an aftermarket Hammond/Organ dealer in Orlando, Florida. He has used it to promote his business, but is moving his business. He will probably put it on e-bay, but to sell it for the best realistic price to his advantage. He asked me what I thought it was worth in the market and I told him I was not sure, but that I would ask around. He is a business man who has a good reputation, but runs his business every day.. I am retired, so I have time to ask (stupid) questions and collect answers. I also own two Hammonds and might even buy a third if my wife doesn't put her foot down. I just am interested in what fellow Hammond owners and lovers think the "right person" would pay for a brand new tone-wheel B3S? ----- Original Message ----- From: jlc7184@... To: hammond_zone@...

Whatever, there will come some "ownership." Because there are potentially more who would be interested, it is adviseable to create a corporation. It is not too expensive to do this in Florida. It is a "corporate friendly" state. I don't see why the entire system could not be laser driven in its basic design. ----- Original Message ----- From: G6019LPOP@... To: hammond_zone@...

New member needs help
Dear Hammond Zoners,
I am a fairly new member (about 2 weeks) and I have tried to log into the site at Yahoo without any results. When I signed up, there was a note on the page that I would need to verify my e-mail address with a code which I never received in my confirmation from Yahoo. Can anyone guide me on what to do to get that confirmation code or any other way to sign in? I am a Hammond Master Tech and I have been reading, with great interest, all the messages about again building the old tonewheel generators. I have always wanted to do something like that or come up with a way to faithfully duplicate the original electronically. As I have thought about such a task, I have developed ideas that would be very effective without sacrificing the original sound. My ideas have been in all areas of the organ other than the tone generator. I would be interested in any efforts to reproduce the old tonewheel organs and I would like to be involved in such a venture. As far as my qualifications for such a project, I worked closely with the gentleman at Hammond who was the head of the service department and I believe he was also involved in product development at one time. Over my years of working on Hammonds, I developed methods of service and found ways to rebuild and improve the products. I was often asked by him and others at Hammond for input as to what I was doing along those lines. Several things that I was doing or methods that I developed were incorporated into Hammonds methods and service notes. This is not to brag but only to state that Hammond Organ Company apparently valued my capabilities and I was honored to be asked to contribute to such a great instrument. Sincerely, Lyle Hammond Master Tech |

That's a good idea. We definitely have more resources to choose from than Hammond had in the early 30's! I know a guy in the laser cutting business, too. He doesn't usually do steel, but he's done up to 1/8" thick plate on occasion. He normally sticks to wood and plastics. But, I know another guy with a machine shop who also has a laser and a water-jet. He cuts steel all the time. BCV-KG -----Original Message----- |

Re: [hammond_zone] Re: A B3 in the Original Factory container...
Ron Bell
I have read about new B-3's in the box a few times.
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
One was a 1974 B-3, the asking price was $50,000 US. A few things to think about, if you take it out of the box it is now just another B-3. Is the generator gonna spin freely, maybe, maybe not. The elctolytic caps and filter caps will be as good as any old caps and will need to be replaced if you want a brand new "sounding" organ resulting in a non-stock B-3. I have also read there are 25 B-3's in the box tucked away. The only way this organ will be worth anything is if it stays in its box, so who the hell would want a box of organ???? Not I. It is a shame to make a big deal out of an organ that is still in its box, open it up, tune it up and let 'er rip!!!!! Cheers, Ronnie ----- Original Message -----

re-voicing my G-100
Carlo Pietroniro
my technician said there's a way he can take the "Trompette 8" in the pedal division, and bring it down an octave, to get the "Bombarde 16" found on other models. Actually, he also said he can bring it down 2 octaves if I want it at 32-foot pitch. I know nothing about how this organ works. How is it possible to change the pitch of a stop like that?
