both Hammond oftriumph and tragedy
Marc Saint-Félix
开云体育Hi Jimmy and all,
My tragedy is that I scratched the woodwork of my
XB-1 and I can't find any replacement part. By the way, any help or tip would be
greatly appreciated.
My B-3 story oftriumph : I bought mine from a
canadian recording studio without hearing it before. It was very cheap so I made
up my mind for buying it before someone else stole it from me! Some would think
I'm totally crazy... so do I, but it was worth it : I'm now a happy owner of a
Hammond "oh-my-god" B-3 organ which sounds and plays great.
?
Gotta go, my neighbors miss me cracking the
walls.

you need, but if you don't get what you want I might be able to help. Let me
know who you want to copy.

Anybody carrying the beast?
Jimmy Lange
Hey Hammond brothers & sisters,

I've seen a lot of talk here about all the clones but not a lot of discussion about the Hammond consoles ( B-3, C-3, etc. ). Is anybody still carryin' around the beast or am I the only dinosaur left in this crowd? ( and perhaps not the brightest one in the bunch, I suppose you could say. ) My B-3 / 122 rig is at the heart of our band's sound and people come up all the time at shows and comment how much they enjoy having that sound as well as being able to experience it up close. Many have seen B-3's on big concert stages, but never really got to get a personalized tour like the one I always feel so obliged to give them. Even after hauling this thing around for nearly 30 years I'm still so totally in love with the sound and the sheer beauty of this instrument. I totally respect how far the clones have come and don't dis anybody for that choice, but for me there will always be just ONE Hammond. I love being surrounded by that georgeous wood and feeling those low rich chords move through my body. I keep my Leslie directly behind me about 3' up so when I lean back against the cabinet I get the full vibe. It's awesome! Hope to hear from you all in the future and I'd be interested in hearing about any customized B-3 and Leslie combos as well....like what do you all know about " Groove Tubes " for a Leslie 122 ? Keep the faith! Sincerely, Jimmy Lange kcbass1@... wrote: My XK2 is three weeks away from me coming on a slow a%% |

Hey Hammond brothers & sisters, Jimmy i'm still carrying the C3 and 122 leslie about . I'm from kalgoorlie in Western Australia, and iv'e owned this gear for about 30 years too. I don't get work any more. The band scene here is non existant and when something does happen nobody wants a hammond player because of the size of the gear. I also have an L100 and and M100 and an X5 as well as 2 leslie 122's and a760 and an 820/860 pair. this pair is furiously loud but not the warm valve sound. |

Re: [hammond_zone] Condor Sound System
Lars Karstensen - Infinity Trading ApS
开云体育I suggest you put a couple of photos on a mail
for us to see, perhaps we can figure out what it is by sight. Do you happen to
have some dates for production of these speakers?
?
I am very anxious to learn more of these and to
get varified whether these are in fact Hammond products. As mentioned before I
have never heard of these before.
?
Best regards
Lars

Re: [hammond_zone] M3/147
I've recently bought an M-3 and 147 separately and want to hook the two upCongratulations! As far as the audio connection, is it simply a case of connectingYes. or is there more to it than that?One thing to be careful of is that you want to keep a load (of roughly 8 ohms) on the amplifier. To help you do this the 147 has a switchable load resistor which can be set to 8 ohms, 16 ohms or off (high impedance). So, if you leave the built-it speaker hooked up and hook the 147 up in parallel, you should set disable the load resistor in the 147 amp. If, on the other hand, you unhook the built-in speaker, you should make sure the load resistor switch is set to 8 ohms. (If you install a main/echo/ensemble switch, you should enable the load resistor, probably 8 ohms.) There's a schematic of the Leslie hookup kit used for hooking spinets to 147's at: If you have an older M-3, with a field-coil speaker (four wires going to the speaker), you should make sure to leave the field coil hookup up, as it's integral to the power supply for the AO-29. (If you do want to remove the speaker entirely, the field coil can be replaced by a power resistor; or, better still, you can rebuild the AO-29 to PM speaker specs.) |

Dear Darren,

The M-3 comes in different variations, and if you have one of the early ones you have to take care. These use special speakers (electrostatic) and you can see that by the fact that 4 wires goes to the speaker, and not as normal 2. Please inform which kind of speaker you got. On the speed-control it is important to open the leslie and control the voltage on the relay. you can take the part no. and I will tell you what to do. Then there is equally a question of power. Does the leslie have seperate power cord, then the issue is simple. But if not it has to be supplied by the cord from the organ. Again check what kind of Leslie you got in that respect. Does it say 110V/117V or 220/234V ?

Re: [hammond_zone] Leslie&X66 Speakers
Thanks Lars......Yes I do have the X66 it came with a Condor Sound System ?
Innovex by Hammond... This is all new to me as I always had Wurlitzer organs and always wanted the X66.. I don't know what happened to the Tone Cabinet for it. ?This X66 belonged to an entertainer,that is probably why I have these four big Condor speakers with the organ. ?I was told that the organ's real sound comes best with the tone cabinet made for it..I don't know as I never heard it with it. Another person told me a Leslie 122 would sound good with it and another said it would sound terrible,I don't know as I am new to the whole Hammond sound anyway, ?But i do like the sound of the X66.Do you have the X66??? Regards,Jim. |

Its relatively simple to convert from 220 V to 110. My Hammond service center here has a very knowledgeable technician which I have been using for the past 25years. If you would be so kind as to forward a pricing list for the B-200's that you have, I would appreciate it. Shipping to the US runs in the neighborhood of $200US which I would include with purchase price. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks Lars!
