Re: Tonewheel Generator - BEARINGS - LUBRICATIONS

Re: Tonewheel Generator - BEARINGS - LUBRICATIONS
Thanks for the feedback Scott, but I had to read your response a few times to try to understand everything you responded with. The first point is the "30W" oil. I think this was my comment, but no

Re: Tonewheel Generator - BEARINGS - LUBRICATIONS
Yes, in UK, Wales to be precise, not England, and you've got the time difference spot on. As I said in my first reply, precise details of access depend on the model. On T and L series, it's easy. Tip

Re: Tonewheel Generator - BEARINGS - LUBRICATIONS
I'm very late to this party and have not been keeping up. I quit in horror when I read that somebody was oiling the bearings with 30W oil and then stating that it would do no harm. But no, Wayne, the

Re: Tonewheel Generator - BEARINGS - LUBRICATIONS
Thanks again Chris ....but now you have my curiousity.? ?You know what I have just done, but I have not explained what I had to do access all the bearings.? What did you have to do to access these

Re: Tonewheel Generator - BEARINGS - LUBRICATIONS
My understanding is that the original Hammond oil is light enough? to evaporate over a period of years. This will happen whether or not the organ is used, probably it would dry out quicker at higher

Re: NEW PROBLEM - HIGH PITCH - X-77
Well, if I can be blunt, this is something you are not qualified to be working on.? "Puttering" can be very dangerous for you and more importantly, the organ.? What does "a while" mean when

Re: Tonewheel Generator - BEARINGS - LUBRICATIONS
I am not an audio electronics person.? I think you should provide a lot more information for anyone to begin to assist.? I assume you are referring to the purpose-built Leslie that the high pitch is

Re: Tonewheel Generator - BEARINGS - LUBRICATIONS
Where I have come across this in the past, it's always been an organ that has been neglected, not oiled in the regular way for several years. Once the bearings have been oiled, I usually just put a
