Leberwurst Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I'm no hammond pro, but I played once on a M 100 and for me, this looks quite like one... wait, I'll put up a picture, so we can compare The Dromb Bopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leberwurst Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 some of the thingies, the knobs, whatsoever are missing (the things you press for percussion, chorus and so on) on your picture...but the rest looks so similar The Dromb Bopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmd Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 looks like a different number of tabs, but otherwise identical...is that your m 100? so, its not so much about curing it as it is about hiding it...to help spread it faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmp Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 The most important difference is that this only has a power switch, no starter switch. I forget the model number, but it's not an M100. --wmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmd Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 is it a t-100? so, its not so much about curing it as it is about hiding it...to help spread it faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmp Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Looks like an L100. clonk here --wmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mate stubb Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 No no no no no no no !@ It is an L-100. Worth taking for free definitely, if I had to give money for one I wouldn't spend more than $200. http://theatreorgans.com/hammond/HAMCAT06.GIF Keith Emerson used these organs to stab with his daggers and drag all over the stage as their reverb units screamed in agony.

zmd Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 so, it looks like we're voting L-100. i'm fairly pumped as all i have for organ sounds now are some kinda rough dx 21 sounds. so, its not so much about curing it as it is about hiding it...to help spread it faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zmd Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 well, i got it...it needed some serious cleaning...so we did that, and it worked for about 30 minutes...then we shut it off, and the motor won't start spinning again. so its time for some serious diagnostics. it sounded just great(although crazy quiet) so, its not so much about curing it as it is about hiding it...to help spread it faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Alfredson Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 They take Hammond oil. Don't put anything else in there. Get some Hammond oil from Tonewheel General Hospital . It's cheap. If it doesn't even attempt to run (ie, no sound coming from the motors at all) my guess is the switch is either bad or the connections to the switch need to be resoldered. I got called to fix a B3 that wouldn't start and it turned out to be a wire going to the START switch was disconnected. Could be the power cable, too. Keep it greazy!

zmd Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 it did run originally for about half an hour. it only stopped working after i shut it down. we used contact cleaner on the tubes and replaced one bad tube(it still has hammond tubes in it for the most part). so, the switch/motor is likely intermitent if i read you right, which is fairly easy fix. the power cable was the second thing we replaced after cleaning the tubes, and everything is getting power. tubes light up, power light comes on, and, when keyclick is turned on it clicks. so, its not so much about curing it as it is about hiding it...to help spread it faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
