Hammond Organ
I was just donated a Hammond organ and was curious as to some information
about it. I work at a music store in my town, and someone came in that owned some rent property. The people moved out but left behind this organ and the owner of the house wondered if I wanted it, for free!. So of course I said yes (what a great addition to a home studio) and we moved it into my house. It is labeled as a Model D, serial number 5409. There are two Jensen speakers, model A12 Concert Speaker. All together there are 9 tubes in it, which all glow red when powered on. I haven't been able to get sound out of it, but I don't know if it's because it's broken, or if I just don't know what I'm doing (or both). Any information or links to helpful sites would be great. And of course, in the meantime I will Google it. Thanks a lot. Thomas |

http://www.google.com/search?biw=125...=hammond+organ Thanks for that generic answer. As I said in my post (the last sentence, you probably lost interest by then), I planned on searching Google, and I did. So, Ricky got to the "try searching Google because I don't have an answer" response first, so only post if it is different information. I'm glad we got that out of the way quickly. Oh, and I'll add: anyone know of some folks in the Memphis area who work on organs? Thanks again. |

Yes, there's alt.music.hammond-organ, and like much of Usenet it appears to be begging for on-topic content... ----- http://www.mindspring.com/~benbradley |

Oh, and I'll add: anyone know of some folks in the Memphis area who work on organs? Thanks again. I did read your entire post. I had just been looking for this same information a few weeks ago and the search I used turned up about all one could need to know about how they work and how to operate one (or those pages contained links to it). So instead of posting the links individually (since most of the ones on the first page are good) I just posted that for simplicity. If my post was useless then what does that make your response to it? |

I believe there's a Hammond mail-list, Thomas, but John Vengrouskie
(jssconmag) would know better, since you'd have to subscribe to it. As I recall it's well worth the trouble to find it. -- Roger W. Norman SirMusic Studio "Thomas Bishop" wrote in message .. .

You don't know Ricky. If he got paid for his generosity, he'd be a rich man. Poly |

The only thing I know about these early Hammond consoles is that they have just a preamp. Should have the same 11-pin connector as later models. http://www.cs.uidaho.edu/~rinker/msckt.pdf |

If it is an original Model D, it has a 6 pin connector. The 11 pin came MUCH later. However, if it has speakers built into the cabinet, it is probably a D100 series rather than a Model D (and does in fact have built in amplifiers-3 of them-rather than just a preamp). Model D was built from 1939 to 1942. D100 series was built from 1963 to 1969. Pictures and information can be found in the hammond FAQ. http://theatreorgans.com/hammond/faq/ -ray (I have a Model D) http://www.cs.uidaho.edu/~rinker/msckt.pdf |
