hammondmoron Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Same hammond idiot as before! I am in a local band in Cincinnati and I am desperately trying to get a Leslie 120 and a Hammond L-102 together. The Leslie 120 model was made for the spinnet organ to run through the original amplifier, so granted, I will have to do a little microphone work to come through. However, there is no 6-pin adapter that I can see on my L-102, at least not on the outside, and there also is are no leslie control switches on the board. I suppose I need to find one of those rare hammond specialists to work on my problem with me. If anyone knows what I need to do to get hooked up, please let me know! Thanks!

b_3guy Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Use your favourite search engine. Type in Hammond B-3 & start looking for a tech in your area. One route to go might be to a get a signal off of one of the posts on the the side of the preamp inside of the L-102 & connect it to a female 1/4". Hook it up to a Trek II Preamp which would provide a 1/4" input, Leslie switching & a connection to the Leslie. To find the Trek II, type it in your search engine. This might cost $300-400. Maybe a tech would be a cheaper route. Is the Leslie 2 speed? Steve www.seagullphotodesign.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B3Nut Posted July 14, 2001 Share Posted July 14, 2001 The 120 won't work with a pedal preamp, as the speaker has no amplifier. It was designed to be powered by the organ's amplifier. It has a single 12" speaker, wood or foam rotor, and a 2-speed motor stack. It uses the standard 6A pinout. Here's the link to the pin-outs: http://www.hamtech.org/leslie_cable_guide.htm A hookup for this speaker is quite easy to cobble together. Have fun, TP --- Todd A.

As I said earlier take a lead off of the side of the amp in the organ, solder to a female 1/4". Do the same to the Leslie - 1/4" female from the speaker. Insert any amp in between & let her rip.

Do the same to the Leslie - 1/4" female from the speaker. Insert any amp in between & let her rip. Also be sure to either leave the L-100's speakers connected or use an 8-ohm 20-watt resistor (I think rat shack still has those, that's where I got them) across the amp's output (the L-100 only has the speaker output, no line out.) Running the organ's amplifier unloaded is asking for trouble...tube amps need to see a load or they become unstable. You'll want to pad the output after the 8-ohm resistor - the levels are pretty hot. Have fun! TP --- Todd A.
