I bet Gershwin played jazzy stuff on his.

I don't know how much fluid is supposed to be in the can caps, but of all the caps I re-stuffed for my L111, only one had a few free drops of moisture. The rest had moist paper, though.

Thanks Anurae. DeOxit is supposed to be plastic safe -- which product did you have problems with? I have ordered both Gold and Fader Lube...and was kinda hoping to clean the backs of the drawbars...

Well, I played it last night. Wasn't loud enough for the jam space, I am going to need to mike it. It's also too tall. Anybody here ever cut the drum machine riser out?

It was also making...

Something to think about that jdoc hinted it -- the M100 uses a separate speaker for reverb, but the 26-1 kit only switches one speaker. Your best bet is to probably have the reverb going through...

Boyan, it would be nice if you would stop passing off unresearched guesswork and anecdotes based on single points of data as absolute fact. It makes it very difficult to evaluate the usefulness of...

It is entirely possible that you are describing a relay that is flapping at 60Hz. I would definitely test this with a simplified circuit if I was in your shoes.

Are you saying that the relay is making noise when no power is applied to the coil? That strikes me as being improbable in the extreme.

Is the noise it makes relay-flapping noise? What is on the...

That's a good plan. Killing yourself due to inattention would suck. Get well soon!

Bayouland, do you have 285 VDC or so at the test point near V2? Have you followed the wiring between the matching transformers and the 6AU6s? i.e. checked connections, cleaned switches, etc?

How...

FYI - you won't be able to spot bad electrolytics in these by inspection. They are made (and fail) differently from the motherboard capacitor fiasco ca. Y2K...

As for manual sections to read -...

Good idea, peanut. When I stripped my L100 manuals I discovered at least a dozen half-broken white keys I didn't know about!

Does anybody know why the felts fail? I guess I will find out out when I take my pedals apart.

The pedals look the same as L100, does anybody know if the felts will swap over? I have lots of...

My problem is always loud drummers! There is a delightful trend around here of downsizing guitar amps, so that it's not all that rare to see 15W amps on stage, and amps like the Vox AC-30 considered...

Why is miking that thing up for a pub gig not a goer? A couple of SM57s on my 760 do a decent job.

You should probably just test every resistor you can. I checked them all in my M3's AO-29-F1 in about an hour. I noted the ones I couldn't test without lifting a leg, there were only 8 or 12 of...

tonewheel1966 - it is certainly possible to buy copper PCB these days, I do all the time. My usual supplier is Digikey but the usual places will stock 'em. I don't etch with Ferric Chloride anymore;...

Boyan - I probably won't get the T500 and the L111 or Leslie 760 in the same room any time soon.... The sole purpose for the T500 is to make it so that I can just show up and play, instead of having...

jkrusel - thanks for pointing out the service manual procedure, I found it in section 3-9. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would not have realized that the full manual was up there; the first version...

Those two out-of-spec resistors could certainly cause the problem you're having. Replace them before expending much more effort!

Wes

Were those typewritten stickers on the preset keys factory? I've seen enough of them to think they must be, but, golly, they look awful.

This forum needs a thumbs up button!

What's the distorting instrument? Rhodes through a tube pre?

To recap - You have connected mains power directly to the motor, it did not turn, and the armature is not seized? In that case, it is time for a new slow motor.

The cheapest way to get one is to...

The problem is that the 760 impedance *is* high.

If you replace the voice coil of the speaker in the M3 with a 10W 8 ohm resistor, you will keep the output transformer in the AO-29 happy. So - not...

Good question...haven't tried it yet. ;) ... I was thinking of pulling the cassette player to get the connector for bypassing the drum machine. I want to shorten the case a bit so that it's the...
