Probably growing some metal dendrite tentacles inside the vibrato scanner. It could possibly be fixed externally with a flashing. Does the vibrato sound choppy when it's on?

Electrical or mechanical clicking?

I've not oiled any of my tonewheel organs for years. IMO the factory recommendation for filling the cups every year leads to puddles under organs. The cups connect to strings which draw oil drops by capillary action into the generator cells, which have felt pads to soak it up and lubricate the bearings. I've not ever seen gunky buildup in those generator pads when proper Hammond oil is used. I wouldn't use 3 in 1 or sewing machine oil precisely because there is no data on long term build up.

RIP Bob. I lived in a farmhouse in Marissa for a couple years and worked for both Heil Sound and Ye Olde Music Shoppe. Good times.

First make a mistake. Then repeat it.

What CEB said. Also, vibrato is not split, meaning you can't turn it on for only 1 manual. AFAIK, all tonewheel consoles up to B-3 had 91 note generators. Later models had irregular shaped tonewheels for the pedal tones (called "complex" tonewheels) in an attempt to make the pedals more harmonically rich. My first ever Hammond was an oddball. It was a B-2, (B-3 without percussion) however it also had a generator which had the early smooth tonewheels for the bottom octave. This allowed me to bypass the foldback on the 16' drawbar and bring those deep pedal tones to the manuals. Once I added an Orgonics tube percussion unit, it was a tone monster. To this day it is a mystery why that generator was in that particular organ. It must have been swapped in before I ever got it. It had been a road organ for early St. Louis musician Tommy Dean - still had his name painted on the fall board.

That's 128kb of memory, not 2kb. About 2 seconds worth. Very short loops and lots of sample stretching!

Christine's is a Combo Pianet, the same model I had.

I ended up putting extra diagonal bracing on mine to make it rock solid.

It's just not fruitful for those with experience in manufacturing to try to temper the expectations of enthusiasts. They don't want to hear it.

Good God, I hope not.

As one of those 70s organists, I used manual drawbar changes, two sets of drawbars to set up instant registation changes, AND I used the preset keys which I rewired to store my own presets. As did many of my contemporaries. YMMV.

To directly answer you, yes there is no sustain pedal possible on the Pianet. Also, little to no dynamics are possible as the volume and tone are solely determined by the stickiness of the pad, which can't be controlled by how hard you play it. As far as muddy, my Combo Pianet wasn't muddy at all. It had a brighter tone than a Wurlitzer. It sounded exactly like the one in These Eyes. There were earlier models of Pianet that had different reeds and were plucked by a rubber plectrum I believe that had a lot darker tone. Walrus would have had one of these earlier ones.

She should play her final college year out and collect some sweet endorsement money and some more adulation before she disappears into WNBA obscurity.

How will this distinguish itself against the already Moogy Trigon? 2 more voices but one less oscillator per voice...

I snagged an Erica Black Sequencer a few days ago and like the work flow so far.

I met him in 1980. One of the nicest famous people we encountered in over 10 years on the road. RIP Lee.

I carried a Rhodes Chroma and Chroma Expander for years.

The half time show was not for me, but you youngins won't remember how horrifying the artists were in the early days of the SB. I'm looking at you, Up With People.

I always go back to Bach.

Virus had a pretty amazing production run.

I bought an XV-2020 for the same reason - to pad out my Stage.

Can anybody get to modulargrid.net right now? I'm getting a 502.
