Hello JLS516,

As with EVERY HAMMOND OR LESLIE, (for that matter, EVERY electronic
musical instrument device) you will be altering the designed sound of the
unit if you try to replace ANY CIRCUITRY with anything other than
original parts/components or direct replacement parts/components.
Musical instruments are PRODUCERS of sound and all stereo equipment are
REPRODUCERS. This difference is a big thing that will cause unfaithful
production of the sounds generated in a musical instrument by stereo or
Hi Fi equipment. The same as, you would not want to listen to recordings
through your musical instrument amplifier, too much of the original
recording would be missing.

If you would tell me what in particular is happening, I might be able to
help you get it fixed.

Sincerely,
Lyle
Hammond Master Tech

Can any one tell me what do???? I have an X66 and it is connected to
a Condor
Sound System made by Hammond...The pre amp is going and I want to
buy a new
one...The one I have now is a home made pre amp...The speakers are
as
follows,AC input 120V/50-60HZ-2.0amps... The preamp has four jacks
that have
four wires with jacks that plug into the back of the speakers the
main cord
coming from the pre-amp to the organ is a 7pin plug. Can you anyone

Hi Eric,
I think you should ask to Lars Karstensen. He used to post lots of messages
a while ago, and if I'm not mistaken, he is a Hammond dealer in Europe. You
should check out the Zone page to see if he's still a member and if so,
you'll get his email address.
Cheers

Marc.

Goof off is a similar product that specializes in removing dried latex
paint. It's just Xylene. I just used it to remove a myriad of white paint
spatters from my C40. (It worked great, Bill!) I wish people would learn to
use drop cloths!

Anyway, used sparingly (put it on the rag, not the wood!) it took the paint
right off, and not the finish.

Hey Ken,

You taught me a newbie !! Did not know about that one...

Thank you,

Chris,

I guess I want to much. If you say the 760 amp sound fine, I just have to believe you. I never heard one! OK I will focus from now on to fix the 760 amp.
But first what is the most common think to look for in a broken 760 amp? And how can I connect it to the 26-1 kit(leslie 125). The motorswitching has almost been taken care of(thanks for that info on the capacitors BTW). But I will need the +30v for the crossover, AC for the amp and a signal from the hammond poweramp. Won't this signal from the poweramp be too loud?

Gandert

This is somewhat technical. If you want pictures, diagrams etc let me know
and I'll see about taking some.

After about a half-hour of investigation, I decided to give up on
resurrecting the 44W - the the power transformer has a shorted secondary and
the voice coil on the field coil woofer is open. There are also some
components that show signs of water damage, or possibly old age. I'm not sure
what I'll do with it, but I decided it's time to move on. Maybe I'll part it
out, the driver and motors work.

Alternatives were a nice-looking Leslie 415 - which it turns out wouldn't
have fit in my car and would have cost a bunch for an 11-pin cable and
commercial interface box (I could probably roll my own, this Leslie doesn't
pass 117V over the organ cable) - or a bit more for a Motion Sound Pro-3T and
LowPro that fit in my car. I chose the Motion Sound rig, The guys at Pianos &
Stuff in Pittsburgh area are great to work with.

Here's how I hooked it all up. I wanted the switches to be reachable from the
console, I wanted something relatively easy to undo externally (5 minutes
behind the organ with a soldering iron would do it), I wanted to not harm the
finish of the organ. I also have to consider that this organ has a finished
back that I will not under any circumstances damage.

I built the line out adapter shown in BITB and on Motion Sound's website to
get a 1/4" output, in a little Radio Shack project box - jack on one end,
hook-up on the other end, pot on top (note: Radio Shack didn't have the
.001mf cap, I had to get that elsewhere). Because of the finished back, I
attached wires to the input of the AO-39 (output of the AO-28) that extend
about a foot from the organ and end at a terminal strip, to which I attach
the adapter with alligator clips. Why ? because now I can use the same
adapter at my church, which has an open-backed A-100. I figure I'm not going
to drill a hole for the jack anyway, so it doesn't need to be permanent.

Next, I needed to deal with speed switching and controlling the internal
speaker. I got a project box at Radio Shack that was about 6" long, an inch
high, and two inches deep, a bag of 3 switches (2 SPST and 1 DPDT) a 20'
cable with stereo 1/4" plug at one end (it was a headphone cable, I cut the
jack off, it was easier than rolling my own) and a roll of 4-conductor
"rainbow wire". Motion Sound's website has the connection information for
alternatives to their foot switch.

The right two SPST switches hook to the Motion sound ... shield (sleeve) goes
to one terminal of both switches, red (tip) goes to the "fast" switch and
white (ring) goes to the slow/stop switch. Note that when the fast switch is
OFF it spins fast, backwards of what you would expect at first. That's
because it assumes fast if there's no speed control attached. If you wanted
to use a momentary foot switch (rather than theirs) to run a MS, you have to
make sure it's open when depressed.

The left-most (third) switch is using one side of the DPDT switch as an SPDT
switch. I had already moved the reverb amp connection to the back of the
AO-39 instead of the back of the speakers, because I knew I'd have to do this
to keep the reverb working without the main speakers. I brought the AO-39
speaker outputs to a 5-lug terminal strip. The black wire from the amp went
to one side of an 8-ohm (probably should use two of them since there's two
8-ohm speakers in parallel) and also to the black speaker wire (you could
move the reverb amp hook-up here, instead of to the back of the AO-39 - and
hindsight being 20-20, this would probably be better). the green wire from
the amp goes to a lug that goes to the center of the switch.

The green wire from the speaker goes to another lug then to one side of the
switch, and the other end of the resistor terminates on a fourth lug that
goes to the other side of the switch. I used the rainbow wire, cutting one
off at both ends, to connect the switch and the terminal strip.

Once this was all assembled and tested, I removed the switches and fastened
the box with two screws to the underside of the front strip of the console,
about the same place as half-moon switches would attach, just below the
presets. If I remove the box you have to look under the organ to see the
screw holes. I put the switches in again, closed up the box, and tested it
again... it works great! Then I taped portions of the rainbow wire to the
cable headed to the Motion Sound.

The first switch toggles between the internal speakers and the load resistor.
The second and third switch control the speed for the Motion Sound. The
reverb sounds from the console regardless of which position the first switch
is set at, and uses the normal control.

The only thing I can't do that a standard Leslie kit can do is turn signal to
the MS unit off from the console. No biggie to me, I can just stop it from
spinning, or get up and pull the line plug.

Doug, who got very ambitious this evening
(Hey, if any Hamtech folk are watching, have I "passed the test" now ?)

Hello All,

I could not believe the amount of support I received from list members, many
thanks to you all for the kind words. My Dad is home from hospital as of
tonight, although his speech and balance are very badly affected. He is
very upset as he was a very active and proud man, maybe one day he will
overcome everything... I have not had much contact with stroke victims on
the past so cannot tell how things will go.

Sorry to you all for the off topic message, I'm just updating people who
mailed me with support.

Won't be checking mails for a week or two now, be back sometime.... Thanks
again

Daz

Thanks a lot for the clue

It is good to be here with clever zonners.
Take care friends

Herbert,

I ran into the same problem. The XK-2 isn't stage friendly enough to serve
as a midi-controller. Unless I skipped a page in the owners manual, there is
no way to easily toggle back and forth.

Gandert,
If you want to make your 760 sound exactly like a 122, then you'll need a 40
watt tube amp, and a 16 ohm bass driver and crossover to match. If I was
you I'd take the easy route and repair the 760, which is a pretty good
sound, and put the tube amp conversion on a back burner until I could find
the right parts for the job.
Chris Clifton

About a hifi amp.
If I use the l100 amp(el84) I will get the organ amp sound, right? Off course a leslie amp will sound different but my leslie 125 is now connected directly to the same amp(i don't use the leslie amp) and I like the sound of it(!). So when I get a hifi amp which will sound flat, the sound of the hammond amp will not change much, right?
It's just a thought.

Gandert

Thanks!!!! Lyle.... I think the tech from Goff gave me the right info...I
have too much hum from the on-off switch on the X66 that was interfering with
sound....Maybe I just am not happy with the Condor Sound system by
Hammond...Seems no one knows anything about these speakers. I aquired them
with the organ and have asked around and no one seems to know anything about
them..I would like to know more about them as when they were made and for
what pupose...Thanks

Chris,

You got a point there. I also am a guitar player. And indeed nothing beats my fender twin especially a hifi amp. Bu what should i buy then? There were people on the zone that by replacing the 760 amp with a tube amp you could have a real nice sounding leslie. What amp is meant here?

Gandert

Gandert,
Design philosophy of a Hi-Fi amp is that it should have no "sound" of it's
own, i.e. should neither add to or remove anything from the original signal,
just amplify "transparently". On the other hand the designer of a musical
instrument amp does not have to restrict himself to building a design that
has an absolutely flat frequency response and as near zero distortion as
possible. Bumps and troughs in the frequency response may actually be
desirable if the end result complements the instrument and produces a
pleasing overall sound. Similarly distortion is not always an evil to be
removed at any cost, the right type of distortion adds character and warmth
to the sound of an organ or electric guitar, but would be unacceptable in a
music reproduction system.
I know my electric guitar sounds terrible played through a Hi-Fi system, I
suspect Hammond organ would also.


Chris Clifton

There is a theory which states that if anyone discovers exactly what the
Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be
replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. Douglas Adams

Buyer pays shipping.......hmmm...enough to make me pass on that..even
though the first bid is at $9.99 !!

Frankly, I like the finish on the refrigerator in the picture much
better, LOL!
