Twilly note on my A100


 

Greetings folks. I have a note on my A100 that sounds off. It kind of reminds me of a cheesy combo organ where part of the note is out of tune or something. It's not chorus or vibrato. Was thinking of re-capping the unit, wondering if that would help.?
Please help.

Which key at which drawbar setting is it?

Best regards!

What is the oiling status of the organ?
Has it been oiled regularly?

Go to this page:


This will isolate your problem. If there is a problem with the TG, this will tell you the tone number and you can look at that specific tonewheel/cap/wiring.

If the above indicates many tonewheels, you either have a overall lubrication problem, or something in the vibrato circuit possibly.

I assumed that you were familiar with this chart and the procedure to check tonewheels.
If you already know, disregard this addendum.

Pull out the first DB.
Play each note on the keyboard. If any do not sound right, note the tone number from the chart.
If you click on that number, all the DB/key combinations will highlight.
Repeat test for each DB.
Hopefully you will not know which number tone to trace down.
The numbers on the terminal strip and which coil serves that tone is in the service manual, and can be found in a search.

Thanks guys. Your the best. I'll fire it up in the next couple of days and work on it. Oiled her up a couple of weeks ago. So will see what happens.?

I had this problem once when the organ was on a floor that was not level.? ?I jacked the lower end up and the problem went away.
