Wes from what I can suss out he wants to set up a 710 hookup by messing with a 760 kit that is completely independent of the built-in 710 hookup? Or does he just want to use a half-moon to control...

I would guess around 20W max if it is the kind I think you are talking about - from one of those internal Leslie units.

You need the load resistor in place to use the Echo setting. With Ensemble, yes this will drop the impedance a bit but that is the way it was designed to work. In Ensemble you have two loads in...

Static in the rotosonic, provided you are not getting static anywhere else from that channel, usually means the mercotac slip ring connector is going bad, or that it is not seated well in the spindle...

Tigfit,
Here is what I did.
1. Order from here : http://www.mercotac.com/html/205.html - part number 591. You will need to break the metal part of the receptacle with a vise so you only end up...

Just to clarify a few things ... Re the smokestack resistors I was only talking about the motor switching junction box and not the amp. I Just looked at my switching box and in the back are two...

Let us know how it goes with the preamp after removing the load resistor.
Also do not discard that resistor. You will need it plugged in if ever tapping off the speaker output from an organ like...

Look at the photo and notice there are two parts - there is the junction box that the 6-pin Leslie cable attaches to from your preamp. This junction box controls the motor switching and also sends...

Low distorted sound from a Leslie 25 with a combo preamp usually indicates that the 8-ohm load resistor on the 25 amp is engaged. You don't want that. If it is an older model it might have the load...

Besides Jon Lord, it also reminded me of Money For Nothing by Dire Straits. Definitely not an overdriven Leslie - as others said probably a fuzz/distortion pedal or Marshall head, etc. It sounds...

Too bad indeed...you would think there would be some interest in the Paragons with the chop crowd ... It is a drawbar organ that you can get for practically nothing!

Was the priest talking about just music, or lyrics too? And in what context did this conversation arise? What did he mean that it is bad for you? Just curious.

I play music as a hobby...

Ok got it. That board can either function as an AC input or DC input. Make sure you use the connector marked AC (the left terminals in your photo) to hook the transformer secondaries to. The plus...

TW,
I don't know what sort of rectifier board you are working with but Geo is right about AC not being polar. Rectifier boards I have seen usually mark the two sides of the AC coming in with ~ and ...

Thanks Geo. Going by my memory which obviously is unreliable :-). Yes the lamp is on the preamp board, not in the pedal. I did not realize there would still be sound even if the lamp was blown.
...

I would check the expression pedal. I think that model had a small lamp in the expression pedal - the filament may have broke while being moved. I would have to double check the schematics. Also...

9-pin does provide power to the Leslie. The 11-pin does not, but shorting 2 pins together (5 and 6 IIRC) activates the power relay in the Leslie - provided that the Leslie is plugged into the wall.

Doddy,
What internal parts do you have now? Please let me know.
Unfortunately my friend who had the 100GK, 102 and 103 cabinets (Norm Ressler, who participated on this forum for a little while)...

Your Leslie hookup kit is only designed to take the speaker audio and the AC power from the organ. There is no practical way to leverage the speed switch that is in the organ for the internal...

Tell us what the "quirks" are and we can probably help. The Premiere is a great stand-alone theater organ. If it didn't have the 25 note pedalboard instead of a 32-note one, it would have been my...

Neumie,
I don't know what book you are learning from or what piece you are trying to learn, but I would recommend Complete Organ Method by John Stainer. It has a lot of fingering exercises and then...

Excellent news! Double check that your internal fast and slow speeds are working and that "off" still routes the sound to the stationary speaker in the organ. We need to be certain that everything...

Correct, pin 3 and pin 2 are supposed to be bridged together (they both carry the common leg of the 220vAC) and pin 2 goes to that contact where the trace was burned away. It does not matter if...

Interesting ... Thanks. Can't really tell if fast or slow is the default speed thought it is usually fast. I would have to see the relay specs to be sure.
In any case this is a good sign. It...

Actually the tick sound is good as it means the relay is still working - though the stuff it is supposed to be switching is not of course.
Try this - turn the organ on and change your Leslie switch...
