120 volt 60hz or 234 volt 50 Hz power? The schematics specify 2.5uF for 120 volt organs, and I know the start capacitors in UK organs are marked 1.25uF. I also know from experience that either 1uF or 1.5uF capacitors work fine in UK organs. My usual supplier doesn't list a 1.25uF part, but I've never had a problem with either alternative.

Start Capacitor value? Tone generator would not start. Motor very hot. Cooled it down, turned on and gave it a spin. Seems to work fine. Looked in Archive.org manual but having schematics in 3 sections makes it pretty hard to find.

Thanks.?

Part # would also be good.

As a quick work around, swap the brown and white (fast and slow) motor plugs around on the leslie amp. You will at least have permanent chorale then until you can sort it properly.

A thought, I seem to recall someone having a similar problem some time ago. He had also noticed that all the HT voltages in the amp were lower than they should have been. Turned out that at least one section of the large can power supply capacitor was open circuit.

Thanks Scott. I'll have a look. Too busy here too. But the Leslie on fast speed all the time is no fun in church... So the priority is higher.?

I will answer you later today with step one of testing-- really busy at the moment.? Just know that fast speed is default-- everything must be working in order for it to go to chorale.? Step one, before I take my nap: find the Leslie kit in the organ. It should be a box with two screws on the back, one with a red wire and one with a black wire.? Get out your DVM meter.

Hi Hammond's lovers,

The good news is that we moved. The hammond L112 is no longer in the garage but back in church and is used nearly every Sunday.?

The bad news is that once I switch the Leslie to fast, it does not react when I put it to slow again. I dropped some oil on the relay wheel that goes down in the transformer. It worked ok on Saturday. But on Sunday it got stuck again. How to repair this? Leslie 122. Thanks for helping out...

Hammond Concorde organ and a Leslie 700. Just agreeing with Mr. Clifton.

Your EE friends happen to be right, but the signal is very robust and a very slight voltage drop isn't going to make any audible difference. Remember, this stuff is very far from being HI-FI.
Of course, when you add connections, you increase the chance of faults due to drummers, or even lead guitarists, to step on? them.

But on a serious note, you have a Leslie with an unbalanced input, so the longer the cable run, the more chance that noise can be induced by other machines/appliances/lighting systems.

Thanks Scott.?And I think you were here 5 times (including the drawbar rebuild, which I think was two trips).

It's a 6 pin.

?Regarding the daisy chaining, common wisdom (and I'm not an EE, but I have friends that are) is that every time you add a connection, you add resistance and that drops signal, provides another opportunity to have intermittent connections, etc.

I'll take a look at the prices and decide whether I want to buy a longer new cable, or a shorter one to extend the one I have. The one I have was probably original to the organ (1960) and the rubber is getting dried out/hard, so it may be time to change. Of course if I buy a new cable I can't afford to have Scott come out as often :) ?

Thanks -

Probably because every plug and socket connection is a potential weak point. The more connectors, the more chance of failure. Also connectors are likely to lose more power than continuous cable, and/or degrade signal quality. For these reasons a single continuous cord is better, than a large number of shorter cords connected one to another. In practice, as long as the connectors are of good quality and suitably rated problems due to using a small number of daisy chained leads are rare.

I’ve always heard that “Daisy Chaining” any chord is not good for it...I have no idea why.!.!.!

Hi Pat,
This is your friendly semi-local tech.? Chris Clifton gave you all the right answers, as he always does, but, as many times as I've been to your music room (3? 4?), I cannot remember whether your male Leslie plug is 5-pin or 6-pin!? So, before you go buying anything, please make sure which kind you have there. Yes, 5-to-6 pin cables are available.

1. Are there Leslie cable extensions available that I can use??
2. Or is the best option to purchase/make a longer Leslie cable??

Also, any maximum that I should be aware of????

Wiki is wrong. The Concorde definitely had drawbars, early UK versions also had a cassette player.

Its got drawbars? Wiki says concorde?no drawbars..Has a cassette player?

Leslie cables can be "daisy chained" together to extend as necessary. I don't think that I've ever seen a maximum length quoted, this would possibly depend on the Leslie model anyway, with larger models that draw more power having a shorter limit. In practice, any realistic length for use within one room is going to be fine.? As with any extension lead, one continuous length is better than many short lengths with a corresponding large number of connectors. Tonewheel General, (and other suppliers) stock ready made cables in 10, 20, 30, 50, 75 and 100 foot lengths, or will make custom cables to any required length. 100 foot, I believe being the maximum continuous length available.
