[HAM] M-3 restoreVaughn Smith docb3 at cox.netWed Aug 2 18:33:06 CDT 2006
Hi. After a thorough cleaning the upper manual drawbars are working better each day so the list was right, the matching transformers were fine. Cleaned all tube sockets with deoxit and the sound is really good - loud and clean for an M-3. I still have a couple of problems: 1. Percussion makes no sound 2. Pedals make no sound 3. Intense static for 10 - 15 seconds as tubes first warm up - volume of static is affected by volume pedal. I'm going to replace the tubes associated with the pedal and percussion sections and see if that may cure those problems, beyond that I need help, also I don't know how to approach the static issue. I want to replace any amp components that need it but I don't really know how to determine what needs changing. I'm in the process of recapping the TG and vibrato line to get back to a bright clear sound. This will be a gig organ when I'm finished so I want it as good and solid as possible. All suggestions are appreciated! Thanks, Vaughn Smith...
