Jode Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Who knows the impedance rating for the onboard tube amp? I'm running a 1/4" out off the speaker wire, and I don't want to blow it up. Or, better yet, who can tell me what type resistor to solder in to bring it down to line level? "I had to have something, and it wasn't there. I couldn't go down the street and buy it, so I built it." Les Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Horne Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 You might find an answer elsewhere faster. Try a google search ... I came up with http://www.hammondb3organ.com/ and http://www.hammondorgancenter.com/ which looks promising. I bought a used M3 from a drummer I worked with and eventually sold it to a funeral home somewhere upstate NY. They got it for a song. I hadn't used it in ages and the generator was bone dry. Good luck. No guitarists were harmed during the making of this message. In general, harmonic complexity is inversely proportional to the ratio between chording and non-chording instruments.

rod76 Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 I didnt do a thorough check but does it say anything about that at hammond wiki? http://www.dairiki.org/HammondWiki/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Clark Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Hey, Also check out the Hammond Yahoo Group . They've been very helpful in restoring my newly acquired T-500 Very informative bunch of people...

sign Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 If memory serves me well, you need a 200k resistor, followed by a 5k between signal and shield. Never disconnect a speaker from a tube amp (unless power is off ) The alchemy of the masters moving molecules of air, we capture by moving particles of iron, so that the poetry of the ancients will echo into the future.

bobster Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 I used the circuit described in the back of Mark Vale's book "The Hammond Organ: Beauty in the B" - it works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coyote Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Hmmm, I've been meaning to get that book. Looks like I'll have to buy it now.... I want to tap the internal reverb amp of my A100 and feed its output thru my Marshall stack to occasionally get that Emerson/Lord crashing effect. I used to think I was Libertarian. Until I saw their platform; now I know I'm no more Libertarian than I am RepubliCrat or neoCON or Liberal or Socialist. This ain't no track meet; this is football.
