  1. This turned out to be embarrassingly easy... I should have just looked in the back of the Hammond and traced down the wires before posting. It was exceedingly obvious how the switch is wired.
  2. What's involved in removing a Main/Ensemble/Echo switch? This particular Hammond will sit in my living room for the rest of my life, and I have no desire to ever add a tone cabinet. Perhaps I can get this task accomplished next week as well. I own this C3/44w combination and an SKX/3300. My wife jokes that my obit will read: HAMMOND ORGANS FOR SALE! btw: Dave died.
  3. Thanks Y'all. I picked up a '57 C3 paired with a 44w almost a year ago. They both need just a little bit of work, but I've been so buried in writing gigs that I've hardly played for the past year. I've finally got some time to myself later this week, and I'm going to play with my toys!
  4. I need to replace the upstop and downstop felts on my '57 C. Anyone have a source they recommend? They've been out of stock at TrekII for months.
  5. Hey Y'all. I recently picked up a beautiful C3 in excellent condition. Everything works, but the output is pretty weak. My first inclination is to replace the preamp tubes and see what happens. Any other immediate thoughts or things I ought to check?
  6. Thanks for sharing. I've enjoyed the threads on this project enormously! Perhaps my favorite organ porn of all time. I look forward to your "cut-down pedals project".
  7. ALERTS TO THREATS IN 2011 EUROPE : BY JOHN CLEESE The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Libya and have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada. The Scots have raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards." They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years. The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France 's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability. Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides." The Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbor" and "Lose." Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels . The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy. Australia , meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be alright, Mate." Two more escalation levels remain: "Crikey! I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!" and "The barbie is canceled." So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.. -- John Cleese - British writer, actor and tall person
  8. My wife and I are running the San Antonio Rock and Roll half marathon in a few weeks. I've been a short distance runner - 3 to 5 miles - for 20 years, but I'd never run more than about 6 miles till a few weeks ago. This Saturday the training schedule says we're running 10 miles. That'll be a personal record. The running and training together is fun and good for us as a couple, and of course the staying in shape part is good for quality of intima... err, life! My issue is keeping my weight up... I'm 52, 6 feet tall and only weigh 142 lbs. I'm having to eat more to keep from looking like a scarecrow...
  9. I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age. (I'm 51) A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, Do you think I'll live to be 80? He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine?' 'Oh no,' I replied... 'I'm not doing drugs, either!' Then he asked, 'Do you eat a lot of steaks and barbecued ribs? 'I said, 'Not much.' 'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?' 'No, I don't,' I said. He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?' 'No,' I said. He looked at me and said, Then, why do you even give a shit?
