[HAM] m111

[vjrdlr at aol.com]

It sounds to me like the start motor gears aren't engaging. I had 2 M series organs that did this and both were easily fixed by cleaning and lubricating and I luckily didn't have to take the motor apart. I manually worked the shaft back and forth while applying WD-40 to the shaft. I'd do this for about 10 - 15 minutes, let it sit a day, and repeat for a few days. After that I'd try to wipe all the WD-40? off that I could, then a few drops of Hammond oil on the shaft and work it in and out. It worked for me.

just got an m111 for $100.  It seems to be in
beautiful condition, however, i can't get any sound
out of it.  I was told it was working before i moved
it and have no reason to believe otherwise.  all tubes
are lit, but when i lift the start lever, it only
buzzes.  haven't fully researched it yet and i know a
shop nearby that could repair it, but i'd like to try
to remedy this myself.  any help would be greatly
appreciated.  thanks!
