I found this site by accident. I've already posted a request for a schematic so I guess I'd better introduce myself.
My very first 'organ' was a harmonium that had an air leak in its bellows. This meant that I had to pedal quite quickly to get enough pressure to operate the reeds... The household vacuum cleaner was pressed into service to give some relief to the tired feet. The disadvantages of this were that the cleaner was then unavailable for its prime purpose, and also the level of noise it made rendered the harmonium sound almost inaudible.
I converted the harmonium into an electric organ using oscillators and dividers.
My first real organ was a Hammond T500. It was fairly hard work so after some time I changed it for a Yamaha C55N. Several years passed, until I changed again.. this time a Technics U60R. I had always wanted a Lowrey Holiday, so when one came up ..I couldn't resist. So now I had two and the other half wasn't happy.
She persuaded me to trade both of them in for a technics SX EA3, which I still have. It began to show some symptoms of old age, so I looked around.. to find, to my horror, that home organs of these types were no longer being sold, or even produced. Just recently, I purchased an Atelier AT30R from Ebay. it has a great sound, but there are a few things which need attention. hence my request for schematic.
Anyway, this is where I am now, and I'm looking forward to enjoying this forum.
