Hi Bill and everyone.
Here below are the measured  manual resistance wire ohms values of a
1966 C3. The owner of this 1966 C3 is in the process of defoaming and
repairing his C3 organ and he recently measured and then sent me these
ohms values .

I also have the chart of the measured ohms values  of the manual
tapering resistance wires of a 1946 CV organ and the ohms values of that
1946 CV are identical  to the ohms values shown here below apart from
the following exceptions:

        16' ft drawbar
Keyboard note:	8      9    10    11     12
1946 CV ohms     120   140    50    50    50
1966 C3 ohms     100   100   100   100    80
	
 8 ' ft drawbar
Keyboard note:   38		
1946 CV  ohms:   24			
1966 C3  ohms:   15			

2 ft drawbar
Keyboard note:   20
1946 CV  ohms:   15
1966 C3  ohms :  24 

The  differences in the keyboard notes 8 to 12 of the 16 ft drawbar are
because the 1946 CV organ has the 82 note TG and the folded back TG
notes 13 to 21 appear on the keyboard notes 1 to 9 and then the sine
wave pedal bass notes 10 to 12 appear on the  keyboard notes 10 to 12 ,
whilst the 1966 C3 has the folded back TG notes 13 to 24 on the 16 ft
drawbar keyboard notes 1 to 12. Apart from this it appears that there
was  little difference in the manual tapering  from at least 1946 to
1973. I am not aware if the manual tapering  resistance values changed
after 1966.
I hope that the full chart shown below appears properly on Hammond Zeni.

varied from run to run. Right?
