[HAM] Oiling My Hammond

[Dave Bishop]

Remove the back of the organ by unscrewing two brass screws.  From the back 
of the organ you can find the tonewheel generator-- the 3 foot long metal 
rectangular box on the center shelf with all the wires on it (behind the 
pre-amp).  Mentally divide it in thirds.  Look into the top of the tonewheel 
generator at each section line and you will locate two oiling funnels about 
the size of a quarter.  These direct the oil into a trough that contains 
cotton threads that wick to oil to each bearing.  Add two teaspoons of oil 
into each funnel.  You'll have to thread the oil bottle through the 
tonewheel generator wires to get to the funnels.

Find the run motor attached to the left side of the tonewheel generator.  At 
the top of the run motor is a rectangular metal cup.  Add 8 drops of oil 
into the cup.

And Bob's your Uncle.

Dave Bishop
