[HAM] new to this - unknown organ...

[Nick de Smith]

Hi,

My aged father-in-law has an old hammond organ - inside, there is a lable saying (I think) "Model: V5 150, S/N 10206, 250V 50cycles, 70W"

It has a 15W 8ohm Pioneer speaker and appears functional, but is very very quiet (not 15W out, more like 1W)...

Are there any schematics for this beast, and what should I do with it? The construction is undeniably crude, mostly on perf-board with an overlayed component map, plus lots of discrete wiring. It's solid rather than hollow state, and appears to have a spring vibrato (?) unit. Two consoles and foot pedals with swell..

Can anyone help with any info on this?

Many thanks

Nick
