Hammond motor

 

Hello to all, my 1st post so far:
I live in Europe and own Hammond L-100 (European version of Porta-B). The motor is broken and my serviceman cannot find a 220 V version. Any ideas where to look for it?

I found a company near me in West Wales that would rewind them for me. Not cheap at ?200 at time, but the chapels that owned the organs were happy not having to buy a new organ. I think I've still got one of the rewound motors in the house. I've also got some modern versions of the run capacitor to go with it.

Are you sure it‘s not just the capacitor?

I thought it was, a friend replaced it, but after couple weeks the motor completely stopped working. Then I brought it to a serviceman and he told me that motor is dead
 

Would you possibly like to sell it? How much would it be with porto to Cologne, Germany?

I'll look into postage costs and work something out.

Hi Marin,

the L-100 tone generator is powered by a self starting synchronous motor, isn't it? Hence, I'd expect that a motor of any other self starting organ would fit, even that of a T series organ. Have some search at perhaps you will find one.

Best regards!

Yes, a T-series motor will fit. Motors for organs without belt driven vibrato scanners (L, E, R, and early T-series organs) have a shorter shaft, only extending from the end of the motor nearest the generator. Motors for later T-series with the belt driven vibrato scanner have the motor shaft extended at the both ends to carry the scanner drive pulley. The latter type of motor will fit in any type of self starting organ, but only motors with the shaft extended from both ends will work in organs with a belt driven vibrato scanner.

Hi Marin,

I should have an M-3 start motor in my storage here close to Vienna. If you want me to I could go there and take a look if it is still there.

Best regards,
Matthias

M3 - Motor won‘t fit.

Thanks to all. I already arranged it with Christoph, since he first messaged me and lives near to me. This is a world wide group!

Hi?Matthias

M series motors are different from the L and T series motors unfortunately. I think an H or E might work depending on rpm - basically one from a tonewheel organ with a single on/off switch as opposed to separate start/run switches.
All the best
