Any Hammond Organ Experts?

Trout · 18th August 2006, 08:21 PM

Last week,

I acquired a Hammond Model F-100 Extravoice organ, With Service manual/Schematics/Tuning Guide. The cabinet is in fair/good condition, 1 chip in veneer, and no back cover. Otherwise, This was a fairly well cared for item. It was owned by a professional organist and was alleged to be his favorite. Anyway, It was working at the pickup location, But during transit something must have rattled loose because no sound comes out. I have not bothered looking further for a reason why.
Basically, I was wondering if anyone knows of a good Hammond Organ forum. This is a very rare model for the most part, And I would rather find someone that would indeed want the item as an organ rather than doing my usual Parts Strip!

Edit, This item is in Illinois 20 minutes from Dekalbs NIU Campus.

Hey!

This Extra Voice F-100 a collectable? Or A Salvage affair?

I tend to not like busting them up, But Ummm you know what I mean. I saved it from ending up in the landfill as it is

Sorry dude,

Don't know diddly about the F100... just the classics.

The tubes still light?

poobah · 18th August 2006, 08:42 PM

I really couldn't speculate as to it's value... i'd have to say not much.

Single manual without tonewheels...

Probably alot of nice iron in it though...

Lemme see what good sites I have links to.

Yep,, Tubes. Its PP El84's about 25 0r 30 12AU7's a few 12AX7s, 5U4 rect, Power supply is on its own seperate chassis.

Some weird kinda Chokes for tuning, Quote* Loosen screws, Tap with Hammer

It is not a large unit by any means.

poobah · 18th August 2006, 08:58 PM

Heck dude,

You got schems... start probing through.

Or... just gut it... I couldn't find much on it at all.

My scam is finding B3's that have been "Rocked" to death and then loading in A100 guts and selling the restored B3. All the same parts of course.

Trout · 18th August 2006, 09:04 PM

OK,,, I'll leave this post a week or 2 , If somebody finds it and is interested, Great, Otherwise All them Yummy holland and Brit tubes Be Mine!! lol

A100?? Oh My,, You should not see the one in my garage that
used to work the day i picked it up

BTW, I am cleaning out a bunch of Stuff (junk in my way) because I/we have gathered to much STUFF. I may have extra a100 hardware stuff here. I'll get back to you.

For sure some of this stuff is good.

Actually dude,

People are pretty dumb... the A100's were actually the flagship. They have all the B3/C3 guts plus...

You can score the A100's for 1K and get a 5K B3 up and running again.

Trout · 18th August 2006, 09:59 PM

I Just couldnt trash another Hammond organ without asking around. Had I known the A100 I found at an auction for 8 bucks was worth anything, No way I would have Killed it.

Thats Kinda why I posted about the Extravoice. I know Hammond used them on 90% of the Demo records even for other models LOL

Heck,, Gime a korg digital I am happy lol

This F100 is cute, Small and simple. But There are a lot of Nice Parts
