Check the 12AU7/ECC82 valve on the Leslie amp chassis. There are two, the one next to the volume control is part of the amplifier circuit, the other one controls the speed switching. If the valve is faulty or loose in it's socket the Leslie will run on fast. Another possible fault is if one of the suppressor capacitors across the relay contacts has shorted. When acting on technical advice given in the Hammond zone, by me or anyone else, please remember that there is high voltage electricity inside Hammond organs and Leslie speakers. It is not just the AC line voltage, valve (tube) equipment uses high DC voltages which may remain for sometime after switching off. Take care and enjoy your Hammond for many years.

tonewheel resurrection update
Raul de Jalapeno
Alright boys and girls. Thought you'd like an update from your happy tonewheel man.
Review of TWG restoration project: Purpose: To have fun and reproduce the very heart around which a tonewheel organ is built. This will not be a money-making monster, I'm fairly certain, but it can be made to at least break even. I do not have a skewed view of what the market is for this thing, so I'm not expecting the door to be blown down with sales. Hence the heavy reliance on those whose aquaintances I've made over the years to donate their time or provide services at a reduced cost. Calling in favors hasn't hurt either. The whole purpose is to "keep 'em spinnin'". While I'm not hurrying this, I'm amazed at what has been accomplished so far. What we have: As I bring new folks with skills on line, I'm organizing and delegating tasks. These folks are working on their respective issues as they get time and means. Here's what's lined up so far: 1) Generating coils and filter transformers to be reproduced by the folks who build the transformers for my amps. A side note on this: I am going to work with these folks to provide exact replacement and upgade transformers for our Hammonds and Leslies at a reasonable price. Stay tuned for more on this. 2) I have contacted my former mentor's family in Pittsburgh and all the TWG jigs and repair tools I used 25 years ago are on the way to me. These were donated to the cause. 3) My pattern maker friend is ready to set up his CAD program for multiple drilling of end plates, etc. This guy's a jazz nut, loves Smith and DeFrancesco. Doneted all the R & D time. 4) Another jazz nut in Albuquerque will do the laser cutting of all tonewheels, gears, etc. He is also a friend of the patternmaker, so they've already sat down to a strategy meeting. He, too, is donating his R & D time. 5) Self-starting syncronous motors at a variety of RPMs for both the US and UK market have been sourced. Later on we'll see what's the best fit. All of us have agreed that this would be the best way to go, as opposed to fitting seperate start and run motors. However, the pattern maker suggested that we leave the original Hammond mount pattern in place for both motors, the idea being that we could offer the TWG without motors/scanner for those who have good ones. 6) I've initiated a patent search to see what the current status of the TWG patent(s) is/are at present, but I haven't made much progress, as I'm not very good at this. The thing is, it's important to ascertain the staus of the patents before too much effort is put into this. Moving this up to the front burner. Anyone have any ideas as to how to be sure the TWG patents are dead? Now, zoners, what all my folks are yelling for now is a defunct TWG to disect. Do any of you have a dead TWG laying around you'd like to donate to the cause? Email me if you do. It does NOT have to work. Regular updates of this project will be forwarded to the Zone. Raul |

Presets on the other console models are set by connecting a load of wires corresponding to the drawbars to a set of 9 connecting bars 0-8 corresponding to the drawbar positions. Your G-100 presumably uses a similar system, changing voices is simply a matter of unscrewing wires from one set of terminals and moving them. You do need to know which wires and to where though! The voices on your G-100 will be in effect prewired drawbar registrations just like any other Hammond.

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.

[hammond_zone] Cleaning nicotine off of your Hammond
Hi Mike and Audrey,
This is how I clean all the organs that I rework. I mix 2 tablespoons of ammonia to a quart of water and I spray it right onto the finish or keys, being very careful not to spray it on any lettering on tabs, switches, presets or name plates. I spray a light layer of this mixture on an area of the organ that is all at the same level (the top is at the same level as is the back, an end panel or one manual). This way, you will be working one small area at a time. Use a fine mist sprayer and let it sit about a minute. Then wipe it off with a clean terry cloth rag, wiping the wood with the grain from the center of the panel to the end of it and the keys along their length. I repeat this process several times reusing a different area of the same cloth until it gets soiled. When you can repeat this process and the rag doesn't pickup more dirt, then spray and wipe again using a clean cloth. After you have done this process over the entire organ, you will have several dirty rags and at least one rather damp but clean rag. You can use the clean damp rag or moisten a clean rag to wipe the areas that you did not spray directly. If you put the dirty rags in the washing machine while they are still wet, they will clean up very easily due to the ammonia in them. One word of caution; be very careful not to catch any loose corners of the cabinet veneer with the rag or you could break it off. If you inspect the cabinet closely before you clean it, you should be able to find any areas where the glue has let loose. You can then glue it with Elmers Carpenters Glue by carefully working a small amount under the veneer with the wide end of a flat toothpick or a small strip of heavy paper. Wipe any excess glue off with a water dampened rag and use a strip of Scotch Tape to clamp it down over night. Fold one end of the tape under to form a tag end to aid in removal and apply the tape with the tag end on the loose piece of veneer, or, so you will remove it without pulling at your repair. Use your thumb to press the veneer in place as you apply the tape tightly around the corner to hold it firmly. When you press on it, you will know if you need to remove any more excess glue. Tapping on the veneer near any cabinet corners with the flat of a fingernail will help to reveal any loose areas that can't be seen. Hope this helps and if you have any questions, e-mail me direct. On the subject of the B3 in a box. I believe that any B3 in the factory container isn't worth much more than what any reputable restorer would charge for a rebuilt B3 in it's original but refinished cabinet. The only reason anyone would want to pay more is because they had more money than they knew what to do with. On top of that, who would cover any warranty work that would be needed, qualified techs aren't cheap but they are worth it. I worked on enough new B3's and others to know that there could be warranty issues. And, I wouldn't want to take the responsibility of powering it up without assurance that a tech had fully serviced it and burned it in properly. If not done so, it could blow electrolytics (they tend to dry out and lose their ability to take full charge after sitting for that long) or a bearing in the generator could be damaged due to being dried out. Yes, it would be nice to be able to buy a brand new B3 today but the reality is that they are an investment that could have inflated only if the music taste of today's twenty to forty year old crowd hadn't changed so drastically. If they had been brought up on music that featured B3s or other Hammonds, they would have craved the sound as we all do. I'm sure there are some twenty to forty year olds in the group that appreciate the real Hammond sound, but, you are a very very small minority. And, it takes a rather large majority to make something a valuable classic in the minds of most people. I know, I also own collector cars from the 60's and they were hot for a time but only the very rich could afford the parts that were still available. In addition, because so many people were and are still enjoying those cars, there is a market for reproduction parts and restoring of original parts. There will have to be many times the present number of Hammond buffs to make up that kind of market. Enough pulpit work. But I would like to sum it all up by saying that the sound is making it's way back through oldies stations, the movies and much of today's hits and Christian music. I hear it more in the past five to seven years than I did during the 80's and first half of the 90's. If the trend continues, a market for restoration parts and the original organs (and any new productions of the original tonewheel generator) will develop and it most likely will be very solid.

Those are good points. I, myself, have no objection to using some modern tech in our quest for the reproducable TWG. As regards aluminum in the dividers, I wonder what effect that change would have on the sorrunding magnetic fields of all of those tonewheels, being that aluminum is non-magnetic and steel would shield each "compartment" magnetcally from it's neighboor. One of the reasons I specify steel over aluminum in my amp chassis is this shielding effect. Another thought for the TWG resurrection database. Raul ----- Original Message -----

I know it has the old wax paper capacitors and it soundsMagnus Enorson (who regularly hangs out on hammond@... mailing list) and others have consistently said that before you re-cap a TWG, you consider these actions: - replace (as necessary) the 117vac wiring - re-cap the preamp (power caps and wax caps, my next project) - while you're at it, check resistance on all resistors in the preamp, replace the ones that are damaged or too far out of tolerance (I would say within 10% is ok) - re-cap the vibrato line (this makes a surprising bit of difference, I'm going to re-cap the A-100 vibrato at my church in the near future). You'll need to learn to read a schematic, and learn how to solder. Get someone to help you or show you how. If I remember right, you're somewhere near Akron OH, I'm an hour east of there, and willing to help. All of those are relatively simple, compared to recapping a TWG. The vibrato line in particular is time-consuming but not difficult. The skills you'd learn there - soldering and working with point-to-point wiring - will serve you well if you want to do the TWG down the road. These actions are also consided to guarantee an improvement in the organ sound, where opinions on re-capping the TWG are "more diverse". You'll need a (among other things) a decent but not real expensive ohmmeter, a soldering iron, wire cutters, needle-nose pliers and hand tools to remove the preamp. It also helps to use masking tape to make "flags" to attach to wires ie - "G terminal in middle". You may also need access to an electronics store with a broader stock than the typical Radio Shack carries. I fortunately have 2 local stores like this, or you can contact Mauser, for example.

Re: [hammond_zone] Re: Looke here: Bob
Laddie Williams
Yes, KEI has it... it is no secret. The box is there for viewing right in the store. As I said, he (Jim) is moving and would now like to sell it, but for the best possible price. He asked me about price and I told him, and also told him I would try to get an average figure. I find it intersting with all our proximity, that no one will venture a figure. For something for you all to jump on, I told him I would not sell it for less than $50,000.00 That a true collector would pay that figure.. the problem would be to locate the true collector. I also told him that he would have to send a tech with it to unpack it and carefully check it out..add gradual power, look for smoke, etc. But, for that kind of money he could afford to do that. Two other people have told me my figure is too low and it could go for $100,000.00 Now what do you think???

It is a new in the box 1974 model. Check out their web-site at www.b3world.com They are located in Orlando. They show a picture of the crate with three boxes (B3,bench,pedals)...FYI..Eddie ----- Original Message ----- From: jlc7184@... Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2002 9:28 PM To: hammond_zone@... Subject: Re: [hammond_zone] Re: Looke here: Bob No,are you kidding.How rare would that be if this is true.I'd say name your price.Some high dollart collector would snap it up.Certainly not me though.But i'd like to look at it just to say "I saw brand new 1973 B3". This is a pretty amazing find. !!!!!!!!! jeff Visit The Hammond Zone To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: hammond_zone-unsubscribe@... Your use of Yahoo!

They've had it in their garage for a few years, and they wanted to get rid of it. He gave it to me because I'm the only one they know who has an organ. I have no idea what model it is though.
