[HAM] Single louver horn compartment damping material?

[Kon Zissis]

Hi Scott.
Sorry for the mix up with  posting the reply here instead of on  Hammond
Zone. I will send  a copy of my reply to Hammond Zone.
 On the back of the  Jack McDuff  album " Screamin"  it says that it was
recorded at Ruddy Van Gelder's  Englewood Cliffs studio  on  October 23
1962 so therefore I wonder if the versions of  "Soulful drums"  , " I
cover the waterfront " and " One o'clock jump " were remakes of tracks
that Jack Mcduff might have originally recorded before 1959. 
 
The organ that Jack McDuff played on  the Screamin album  has a
distinctive bitting sound  which sounds different from the  mellower
organ sound on  Jimmy Smith tracks such as " Blues for J " ," St James
infirmary" and  " Organ  grinder's swing " etc that were recorded at
Rudy Van Gelder's Englewood Cliffs  studio. Of course this difference in
the organ sound could be because of the particular settings of the Tone
Control on the AO28 or the actual Leslie that was used  or because of
different EQing and miking techniques in the studio.

What things were faulty  with Jack Mcduff's organ that he used on
Screamin ?
Was this the organ with the faulty percussion ?
 
All the best.
