toad Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I just finished(almost)chopping my hammond console and was wandering if I will be ok to transporting it on it's back. Maybe not oil it the day before a gig or weeks? Does the oil in the resevoir spill all over? Do I need to suck up the oil tubs with a wet vac? Any ideas? thanks!

eric Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 What model did you chop? Why did you chop it? Maybe it would have been better to keep it stock. What benefit do you derive from chopping 25 lbs of wood off of a 400 lb console organ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toad Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 I chopped an old CV. I painted truck bed liner stuff on it, hell it matches my motion sound stuff too!(KBR-3D). I have a second CV that's not chopped, hooked to a 147 so I'm not feeling too bad about doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mate stubb Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I transported my B-2 on its back on the road for 10 years. I will say this about oiling: oil it once a year, don't overfill and don't move it for a month afterward. It will be good for another year.

burningbusch Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 FYI, Hammond always included the bench and pedalboard in their stated weights. The pedalboard is significant. A B3 console is closer to 325 lbs than 425. Busch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mate stubb Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 You can get a console Hammond down to about 200 lbs. Put it in a plywood box (tolexed or whatever), replace the AO-28 with a lightweight Trek preamp, remove the pedal harness and switch.
