[HAM] In Defense of 1970s LSI Hammonds

[Edlich57 at aol.com]

I know this list is mainly for tonewheel Hammonds, and I own a A102 and 
Leslie 251.  But i am also a fan of the LSI 1970 Hammonds, as I also have a 1978 
2307M Concorde with matching Leslie 710.  The Concorde makes beautiful music, 
and has some wonderful percussion voices that the tonewheel Hammond could not.  
I have my A102 at one end of my living room, the Concorde 2307M is at the 
opposite end.  Granted, my A102 is relatively trouble free, while the Concorde 
2307M requires more maintenance, mostly contact cleaning.  But all in all, I love 
both machines, and would not want to sell either.  I makes me mad when people 
poo-poo LSI Hammonds as junk, when properly maintainted LSI Hammonds as the 
Concorde and Elegante are wonderful instruments.
