Had two organ service gigs today. First an M-100 belonging to Puff and the Pillpoppers that needed lots of lovin'. Ripped out speakers to save weight and did quite a bit of rewiring. Percussion tube was broken. Leslie needs cleaning too but I ran out of time.
The interesting part was the Yamaha Electone speaker cabinet the owner had. And RP-50. Nobody has ever heard of this thing. Not even the Internet. So I guess I'll have to resort to trial and error when I go back to hook it up.
The other organ was an old acquaintance whose owner moved to Japan before I got a chance to fix it. The current owner and I have been playing phone tag all summer and I'm glad I finally got around to fixing it up. Exploded rectifier tube. Glad the guy powered it off before the transformer melted...
