I am wondering what material should be used for the end plates.

The originals were cadmium plated steel or zinc plated steel, this leads to alot of dendrite build up though., maybe if they were sprayed with krylon. I know that the steel generator has to be grounde VERY well or else you will get a lot of crosstalk, if the generator was made of a less conductine material would the shielding properties eliminate enough crosstalk?

If you screw it fight out it is a big pain to get it back in. And like I have already posted not to much overdrive or you will toast your V-21 and these are no longer made although I have heard the 100w ferro-fluid driver from Ham-Suz is a good replacement and can stand up to a little more overdrive.

Re: [hammond_zone] Re: Tonewheel generators
Randall Bush
Thanks, Old Guy. Actually, I was thinking the opposite. The steel plates effectively shield any magnetic flux from one cavity from migrating into it's neighboor. Generally, the crosstalk is the unavoidable consequence of having all those unloaded outputs run into the tightly woven wiring harness. It's actually amazing that there's not more of it.

Hi Bob,
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
(snipped from previous mail) I have used the following procedure myself in the past to produce excellent results. I was shown this procedure by a friend of mine who hired his C-3 to Keith Emerson when he came to the UK a few years ago. Keith liked it so much he wanted to buy it, Dave said NO WAY! She is my baby. I wrote the procedure down for future reference:- It works on the following organs with the AO-28 amp B-3 C-3 RT-3 A-100 M-3 Firstly select the A# (console models) key on the upper manual, set the drawbars to 80 8808 008. Expression pedal fully depressed. Turn vibrato and percussion OFF. If you use the pedals pull out the 16' to position 8. The preamp drive level is set by adjusting the trimmer capacitor that is behind a removable plug on the cover of the box containing the swell capacitor. The preamp should be set to fully clockwise to start with. Turn all the Leslie controls (volume) full up. This next step requires two people: One person should play a full 5 finger chord in the centre of the upper manual, and the bottom C of the pedals. The second person should now begin turning the trimmer counter clockwise NO MORE THAN ONE TURN. The organ should now be getting louder but not yet distorting. Turn further counter clockwise slowly until distortion starts. For the real dirty Hammond growl the final setting should be 1/8th of a turn more than the point where it starts to distort. DO NOT INCREASE TOO MUCH IT WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS! Mainly with overheating of the drivers. The final setting should be approximately 1-1.5 turns open on most organs. Now the test! If you have adjusted for maximum distortion at max volume, the distortion can be reduced by pushing in the drawbars slightly. The result should then be very clean sound but still very loud. When complete you will have distortion on demand by the drawbar levels!! No need for add-ons. Organs with the Trek-11 Preamp should be adjusted in the same way, but the drive level is adjusted with the volume pot attached to the expression pedal control arm. Simply loosen the screw and use a small screwdriver to turn the pot within the arm - DO NOT REMOVE THE ARM - all other adjustments are the same. Now sit down, play and bask in the nasty growling beast of a sound you have just created! HTH Daz. -----Original Message-----

b**l*h*t!! There was a guy on the TV the other week in the UK who has a huge store of over 30,000 valves, he re-furbishes old valve radios and said that he has only used a handful of his valves as they tend to last indefinitely. The store, which is very rarely used contains almost every valve ever made! I watched with baited breath with pen and paper ready to the end of the show and he wasn't even in the credits!! So there is a very knowledgeable guy out there with an indefinite supply of valves that I can't find! I have phoned up Sky TV and they can't give out personal information. Did anyone else see it, it was about inventions on the Discovery channel. They were making a crystal set, and this guy was demonstrating old radios. HTH Daz -----Original Message-----

Whit help of the age determinationlist is was able to find out that the organ as well as all the tubes were manufactured in 1971. All the tubes are original. This means they are +30 years old. I've always herd that valves need to be replaced about every 2-3v years. So maybe this will be a good moment to change my valves! But will the sound differ from the current sound(How?) And which tubes MUST be replaced and which NOT necesserily? I read a million time not to take the chinise tubes so I won't take them!

A very, very brassy sounding organ with great depth of the vibrato and tremolo. Don't know how old you are, but think back to the days of General Hospital. Lets say through the sixties. The background music was a Hammond in the studios. It';s sound was very brassy and had a severe depth in vibrato as well as tremolo. The depth of these modulations was so great at one time it would'nt even sound like an A minor chord. Just pulsating white noise. But when the soap got to a romantic part, no distortion and a simple full organ sound that seemed to rise in volume as the soap neared the end. At the very end , the chord would be held and the organist would quickly lower the volume on the expression pedal and then once more at the cresendo bring it quickly back up to full volume , almost to distortion, and at the same time with the left hand , bring the 4', 2', 1', 1/2 drawbars all the way out. Such, I always thought they were trying to imitate a theatre organ on a Hammond. Lets not forget the game show background music about that time frame as well. Let's make a deal show included that brassy sound, with a player with some darn fast footwork on the bass pedals. Ok, someone help me out on this one. Who were those keyboardists?
