[HAM] rt3 no soundDave Bishop xxcaptinxx at comcast.netThu Oct 5 23:38:36 CDT 2006
Lets assume that you have gotten sound previously, so that you are confident that you're setting the organ controls correctly. The first thing I would do is (with the organ off) spray the organ tube sockets with De-Oxit and reseat the tubes. If that doesn't help, with the expression pedal down, listen to one of the G terminals and chassis ground through one side of a pair of headphones. If you hear a solid, but low tone there, the problem is likely in the speaker switching system. If you don't get a tone, my first guesses would be a bad 6X4 tube or 12BH7 tube. You can also listen through the RCA output jack for a tone, and swap around the two 6AU6 and two 12AX7 tubes, to see if any combination results in a tone. Yoou might go back to your manual preset keys and minipulate them a bit to see whether you can produce a tone. These are all cheap easy places to start. The fact that you can't switch speeds really implicates the first two tubes mentioned, however. Regards, Dave Bishop
