Re: valves
ronbell145
It is a good idea to replace the 5U4 rectifier tube as it can take
out the transfomer if it goes, or you can always add a fuse to your amp to protect the transformer. I have never had a 5U4 go on me, but a few people swear by changimg it anually. Cheers Ronnie B. --- In hammond_zone@y..., "Chris Cliftonwrote: Some ten years ago I replaced all the valves in an L-100 for achurch. The organ was louder and sounding better afterwards. The valves thattake the heaviest use are the power output valves 6BQ5/EL84 and the 5U4Grectifier, so if you only want to replace some valves and save cost thesewould be the ones to go for. |

Scanner Reproduction
Ron Bell
Hey Raul and all,
I have an old scanner here I am looking at. I have rebuilt a few scanners, but looking at them from the angle of making one is a whole different story. It all seems pretty straight forward, just a lot of little parts. The bushings, spring clutch and bakelite drive gear all seem to be similar to the parts in the TG. Now for the tricky bit, The stators and the rotor. How to solder the little fins on? I wonder what type of jig they used to solder the fins on, it has to hold the fins evenly spaced and pependicular to the mounting plate. I have some old stators out of a scanner that has a broken rotor-pin, I will see if i can come up with some sort of a jig that may work. Any one have any ideas??? Cheers, Ronnie |

Joey D in Madison WI
I just found out today that Joey D is performing this friday at a
small blues club three blocks from my house, the problem is I have to work as a stage hand for another show at the towns big venue that night. I'm not even sure what group I will be working for. I hope they use an organ. The small club "luther's Blues" has a house B3 with 122 that has been graced by Jimmy Smith as well as others. Some of you might recognize the name Clyde Stubblefield (James Browns original funky drummer) Well he has a Combo that plays in Madison frequently called the "B3 Bombers" I've been meaning to go check them out, They play at clubs that I do sound at . Since I've been working as a roadie/stagehand/soundguy I have had many priceless opportunities to get up close looks as at many professional organists rigs like Paige from the rock band Phish, Benmont Tench from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, not to mention the rigs used by such artists as BB King, Buddy Guy, Coco Montoya, Widespread panic, Tina Turner, Matchbox 20, and Bob Dylan (Bob didnt use a organist for the two tours I worked for but I had a good time shooting the s*** with his guitar tech who is a big hammond/leslie fan. Well it is too bad I have to miss Joey, He would have been an excellent addition to my list. |

Re: [hammond_zone] Re: Tonewheel generators
Raul de Jalapeno
Hi Jens:

I desire the functionality of the new TWG to be very close to the original. In fact, the idea of using the shafts with mathmatically calculated gear sets driven by a synco motor is still a good and practical idea. I believe part of what can be scary is revealed when we gaze at a photo of a TWG. There's so much stuff in there, it can look overwhelming even to those who have considerable mechanical skills. However, those same persons, after considerable exposure to the device, find that it's really an old friend composed of simple and sensible parts. A very important consideration in this project is to make this unit a drop in replacement. I have no desire to attempt to "improve" upon the basic original design. The availability of superior materials and machining methods available today provide plenty of improvement. I desire the tonewheel sound, as produced 60 years ago, to be available in a new unit. It will have the same mounting pattern. It will have the same threads. It will have coil/capacitor filters. It will have a syncro motor. It will have a big, long, ugly terminal strip to solder the wiring harness to. Where may the design change a little bit? After conferring with my machinist, we will probably supply a self-starting syncro motor, but with the mounts and gears available to install a starting motor if the client wants or has one. Same with bushings. We're discussing several types of materials that are self-lubricating with extreme temperature range characteristics that would eliminate the need for external lubrication. And, most importantly, there will be no transistors to "help" the design to be more "modern". You know what the hardest part has been so far? The bloody scanner!! Right now, we're scratching our heads as to how to reproduce that piece! Now, if some enterprising soul decides to build a clone with this TWG as it's heart, as Jens suggested, I think that would be a fine project. Out of my league, though. But, we got a whole crowd of very qualified and capable people in this group with all the skills needed to build and market whatever we want. In fact, I firmly believe, with all my heart, that if all the members of this group had no other employment and Suzuki had not purchased Hammond, WE could MAKE Hammond great again, just as the employees of H-D took a broken down company and made it great again. 'Nuff said. Raul ----- Original Message -----
From: Jens Aage Andersen To: hammond_zone@... Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 1:42 AM Subject: [hammond_zone] Re: Tonewheel generators It seems that Raul is going to do it, with help from fellow zoners. But is the purpose to make an exact copy of the original, or is it enough to make the sound right? If the sound is the main issue, maybe it would be a lot easier to use step or server motors to run the tone wheels, one for every speed needed, instead of all the gears and shafts. I am sure there are experts on the zone that can answer that. To make a TG, just as a "ad on" to the new B3, is not going to be big business, so to finance the project, build a "black box B3" with the TG and a replica AO28, and make it MIDI controlled. Priced around 2000$ it will kill all clones on the market. Jens Aage Andersen Denmark Yahoo!

Fellow Zoners,

Not a small amount of discussion has been bandied about regarding the structure of the business end of making the reborn TWGs. I should like to clear that point up so that there's no confusion. This will not be a large business that will have a huge marketing plan, budget, etc. just for tonewheels. As I've stated, this is an exercise in altruism for our Hammonds and if I can make enough to break it even, I'm content. I own other businesses that by which I make my income. I've already turned over the patent search to my attorney to make sure I'm not stepping on any toes before I get too serious about the TWG. I can say that I have other interests than just reproducing TWGs and those are providing a line of transformers for Hammonds and Leslies, as well as "legitimitizing" my amplifier design and restore services. All of these will most likely be combined into one small corporation. Again, my attorney is handling these details at this time. Raul has many things going on, including finishing my web site, finishing my CV, finishing my Leslie amp and this wonderful new project. Not to mention trying to learn how to play the blessed CV. In addition, I'm helping a young college student three nights a week to design and build a tube amp from scratch for his graduate project. So, Raul es mucho busy. I wanted all of you to know where I stand and my desire to do what I do best...supply components that will keep 'em spinnin' for a long time to come. Any corporation that is formed to manage these projects will be formed by myself in the State of Colorado with possible extensions to the UK. I hope that clears that matter up. I appreciate all the assistance with these projects as it benefits all of us. Raul ---- Original Message -----

When the speed is changed, there is a reverse EMF kickto the contact points. After a few years of that, the points pit and startto 'weld' together when operating. To test this, go to slow speed and tapthe chassis of the Leslie amplifier. Better still, tap the screw mountedthe points. Then put it back into service and see how well it works. If allis fine, that is the problem. You may want to replace BOTH of the capacitorssubstitute with a 12AX7, the switch circuit will not function.
