They are only little home organs and were never meant to be really loud! Other than the main volume control, you'd have to dig inside to tweak things and that would probably do more harm than good.

Thanks Andyg

Now have the Philicorda in my possession and the volume is an issues(its really quiet to the point of barely being audible) so will seek the assistance of an expert

That's a fault, then. Decide how valuable it is to you as repair costs will no doubt outweigh its value.

Is it missing the volume pedal? I really have no idea about these organs except a few things I've read on combo organ heaven but I was surfing the forum and figured I'd throw it out there.

That's a good point, though I'd have thought the wiring would be that it defaulted to full volume if the pedal was unplugged. Even if not, you'd probably only need to bridge a couple of contacts to sort this.

I hope thats the case,going into a great local repairer in the next few days,fingers crossed as it is a beauty

PS-It has the volume pedal and that doesn't impact on it
