feeds@yuku.com (sbrecords) — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 14:05:13 GMT

hey leslie gurus out there..
I was playin a show last night, and my horn on my 147 stopped spinning in 1st gear, but is spinning fine
in 2nd.
Im using an XB2 that Frank gave me at Hammond with an adaptor for the 147.
Could i have a pin issue or does it sound like a switch has gone funky?
thanks
Chris

In the space of 3 days I missed:
A Hammond L122 with Leslie 122 for $300.
A Hammond A-100 for $600.
A Hammond M3 for $25.

I'm having a "missed it by THAT much" run of luck....

Hammond CV Caps & Drawbars

feeds@yuku.com (keyzrus) — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 07:56:54 GMT

Guys,

I have an old CV in real good shape & she sounds sweet thru my 145. BUT......I gotta believe the tone generator caps are in need of replacement. Some of you have been deep in the bowels of these old girls before, I would imagine. First, how do you get to the TG and second, I've heard that these caps were matched with inductors and that replacements would likely alter the resonance of these circuits....true??

Additionally, I've heard that new caps will...

What do you think of the cool B3/147(s) photo I put up on this forum!

Also, just curious - do you wire your own presets on your Hammonds, or do you use them the way them 'came'?

XK-2

feeds@yuku.com (bluez4alice) — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 17:46:52 GMT

I have a hammond XK-2 that recently ceased to work properly. When turned on, the message displayed something to the effect of : "Memory Lost, please restart". However, after restaring the keyboard, I recieved the same message.

122 Amplifier question

feeds@yuku.com (Earl) — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 19:44:46 GMT

I understand that Leslie amps are kinda oddball things, and was looking at a 122 schemo ( http://www.captain-foldback.com/Leslie_sub/Leslie_schematics/122.GIF ) and noticed that they use the 25V at the 6550 cathodes as part of the tremelo relay circuit, to which the other end of the relay appears to be tied to the 6550 screen supply.

!) What the feck is up with that?

2) What...

Leslie 147 Rv issue.....reverb amp no worky??

feeds@yuku.com (mxvin) — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 10:27:00 GMT

Hey Guys.....as you know from my other posts I got this leslie over the passed summer.....it sounds wonderful. I did some work on the motors and stuff....all is good. When I got the amp I thought the reverb wasn't working....the speaker checks out OK and the "bulbs" in the amp were on so to speak. But it no reverb. I did a little t/s but kind of put it on the back burner. The reverb in the spinet M111 console cranks so it makes up for it in the basement jam room set up. Now the...

Horn brakes

feeds@yuku.com (EMan) — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 20:32:43 GMT

Hey Leslie users - Back at the old Hammond Service Center, I used to install a good number of brake kits for the horns.

I always liked the fast to slow natural speed decent...and thought the brakes were kinda funkay.....what say ye?

CV parts

feeds@yuku.com (semaj2000) — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 11:18:54 GMT

I have all sorts of misc. 49 CV parts ,that will be Ebay'ed or if anyone is interested lemme know.
They came from an old organ I picked up a couple of years ago I needed to get rid of the organ to make room for a wood stove.I couldnt find anyone to take the organ so it got parted out,(a shame I know) but alot of the parts are being recycled.
thanx jim

Where's the friggin Leslies?????

feeds@yuku.com (Andy ZZ) — Tue, 13 Sep 2005 23:06:45 GMT

Dammit!! I've had it! There just aren't enough leslies out there!!! I missed (outbid,...badly) another one on Ebay. A beater, untested, 251. Nicks, scrapes, stored in a barn. I was willing to go $500, and the damn thing went for $710!!

I got pissed off, woke up sunday morning with leslies on the brain and went to the lumberyard. $375 dollars later, I have enough Mahogany cabinet plywood to build 4 122/147 type cabs.
I made a louver cutting blade for my circular saw over a year...

125 conversion

feeds@yuku.com (thecoppertones) — Tue, 06 Sep 2005 10:00:25 GMT

Anyone had any experience with a 125. I have a Motion sound Pro-3 that I am thinking about using for the top rotor, but that brings up a boat-load of problems.
Not a Leslie tech, but not an idiot either.
Anyone have any thoughts?

Snagged a CV

feeds@yuku.com (Andy ZZ) — Sun, 04 Sep 2005 00:14:31 GMT

Got a good deal on a CV and D20 tone cab. Should be picking her up in a few weeks. I've been collecting hammond preamps, drawbar sets, and percussion parts over the last years or so. My aim is to turn this CV into a smooth drawbar C3. I'm also going to mod a M3 to add foldback to the uppre manual, and shift the lower manual octave to play lefty bass.
It's Wisconsin, and winter is starting to stir and groan already....
Gottt be ready with the cabin fever reducers..

different leslies make different sounds

feeds@yuku.com (Unregistered(d)) — Fri, 29 Apr 2005 02:33:58 GMT

1.) Some leslies sound more Vibrato or more Tremolo or More Chorus
even if the fast or slow speeds.

2.) What makes the difference in the Function of the Leslie to Make is more Vibrato?

3.) What makes the difference in the Function of the Leslie to make it more Chorus?

4.) What makes the difference in the fucntion of the leslie to make it more Tremolo?

Even more dumb questions (draw bars)

feeds@yuku.com (semaj2000) — Mon, 28 Mar 2005 23:46:46 GMT

Sorry to bore ya'll with the novice questions,but I'm gonna anyway How would you set your draw bars to get that kinda background Blues rytm sound.I found one web site that had a few organ settings (theater.arena,etc..)..Been trying to find a manual but no luck.I may never get to play this thing but I'll sure know alot about-em
