[hammond_zone] power-cord

You best bet is scour the extension cord sections of your local hardware stores for an appropriate two-conductor "appliance cord". You should probably check the AC wiring within the organ, too. Any "zip-cord" in the organ is probably very crunchy as well. (Fortunately for you, A-100's don't usually have much zip-cord in them.) Congrats on your new organ! Jeff

Good move Nick.? AC wiring in these organs is the first thing to replace without question.? Smart thinking. ? Any AC wiring will do.? Get reasonably hefty guage.? I'd go to a hardware store and pick up heavy AC extension cord.? You can get an extension cord of your choice and snip off the female plug.? Those 2 wires (you wont use the ground) will go where the current cable goes. ? On an A102 you'll want to remove the cardboard generator cover.? There is a rectangular metal cover that protects the AC panel on the tone generator (right side when viewed from rear).? Remove the cover (the organ's unplugged now).? Before removing the old cable remember where each wire went.? Just match the new cable to the old terminals.? Done. ? You could take this opportunity to install an outlet box if you want.? The B3/C3 organs have an outlet box so you don't have an AC cord fumbling out the back.? Nice for people who move their organs around.? Trek sells outlet boxes just like the original.? You might find an old stock box for cheap if you look around (that is what I did with an old AV I had) or you can roll your own.? The whole point there is wire goes from the AC panel on the TG to a male AC jack on your outlet box (mounted whereever you like (I've seen one guy use the power amp plug that is already available on an A100).? Then when you want you just connect that male jack to the wall with your cable.? ? This is about as easy as it can get.? Just be careful when in the AC panel.? Do you know what a capacitor does?? If you don't know what one looks like or what it does (nothing to be ashamed of) I'd suggest not going in there. ? Dave McCracken ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
