Michael Wright Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I had a fellow here to have a look at my 3300 to purchase, however we discovered an annoying vibration at substantial volume. We were trying to remove the panels in order to figure it out, which is proving to be a bit of a trick. I have managed to get the lower one off, but the upper one is defeating me. I would really like to do so without damaging the cabinet at all. I think the spray on coating was not really dry when it was assembled, and has glued it together. Any ideas would be quite welcome, as well as potential sources of this vibration.

Michael Wright Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 Success! Got both panels off. Now to find that pesky vibration. Woofer needs tightening at the very least. 1 Quote "I cried when I wrote this song Sue me if I play too long" Walter Becker Donald Fagan 1977 Deacon Blues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMcS Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Gently snug up every screw you can find. I also lined the frame the panels fit into with thin felt weather stripping I bought at an Ace Hardware store. My 3300 is one of the early ones with the smooth flat black coating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outkaster Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Michael what did the guys say on Facebook. I have this same speaker? Quote "Danny, ci manchi a tutti. La E-Street Band non e' la stessa senza di te. Riposa in pace, fratello" noblevibes.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMcS Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 On mine, over time the belt for the low rotor stretched and the spring tensioner pulled the motor assy. far enough that it started to tap against the frame. It's easy enough to replace. Luckily, I bought replacement belts back when I bought the 3300 so I didn't have to find/wait for the replacement. The rotor's top bearing needs to be removed but the rotor doesn't. Be careful because if the rotor comes out it can be a PITA to get back in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't post on the Hammond/Leslie tech pages at all. I put an oversized screw in one of the holes, just enough to bite in to the panel only, then used a claw hammer with a thin piece of wood under it and the panel popped off. 1 Quote "I cried when I wrote this song Sue me if I play too long" Walter Becker Donald Fagan 1977 Deacon Blues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
