[HAM] Hammond A100 and red caps.

[Keith H Clark]

Your wrong. Wax caps stopped approx 1964 late. I have serviced a few with
wax caps. Earlier B-3's have wax caps,serviced many of them.

Never heard of A100 having wax caps. They were done away with before mfg. of
A100.  B3 does not have wax. A100 came after B3. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I have a hammond A100 that is in pretty good shape, but I think the sound
could be alittle clearer. I was thinking of changing the original capacitors
(wax paper 1964) to the red capacitors I seem to hear about so much. I read
that the original capacitors were only meant to last about 20 years max. A
friend of mine, who is a hammond techinician, said he thought the organ
sounded good, and that installing the red caps will take the "warm" sound
away and make it sound more "electronic". I don't get any "hum" or cracking,
etc. from the organ. I'm not sure if I should change them. Was hoping
someone here could give me their opinion on this.
