[HAM] Hey Kon!

Hi David.
Yes the  JBL adaptor apparatus for sale on ebay   by Jazzmatt  is  quite
similar to  what I built into my Leslie 122. The aluminium plate carries
the weight of the 11 kilogram JBL 2482  . Although Jazzmatt does not
mention the name of the modified Leslie that he took this out from ,
the description indicates that it was a Bill Beer high power Leslie.
The machined metal throat adapter  looks like those used in the Leslie
925.
 
It is very nice to have another C3 . I have now began the process of
unsoldering the manuals so that I can open them up and remove  all the
gooey black foam. There is one dead note  on the lower manual and I
expect that this is caused  because of the black foam  causing the
resistance wire to corrode and break. I have yet to find out how many
other resistance wires have began to corrode. I stuck my finger inside
under the  left side of the lower manual and I touched the foam strip
and it felt moist and the part that I touched  broke off . I removed
that broken piece with a pair of thin pliers and that piece of foam  was
sticky and brittle .
 
After I finish defoaming and repairing  my  new 1965 C3 , I will then
have to defoam the manuals of my late 60's L-143 and my 1972 XTP organ.
All the best.
Kon
