Aurora 8212 pedal notes

[Guest]

Hello, </p>

</p>

I am a newbie and will be in a lot, but not usually, a lot to say.... However I do have two questions. .. </p>

Found/rescued Aurora... all connects cleaned.., all case and internal issues fine.. However.. First Question: the G# will not play but DOES cut off other notes from playing, as normal, and you can hear a soft "grumble" in the output...All has been properly cleaned.. What else might I look for to repair?</p>

And Second question.. The case back gives 700 and 710 (nine pin) Leslie cabinets as adjunct units. What other Leslie cabinets, if any, might be used.. </p>

My thanks, and I am many places as ellll, but most call me John... So glad to be here!

Hi John!</p>

I'm not a tech, but it may be one of the 12 IC's on the large board behind the manuals may have passed on. If someone can confirm that for you, I'm pulling a Hammond 8000 to bits which has the same parts. I can post 'em for nothing as long as the postage isn't too much.</p>

If no one here can Help, I recommend Chris Clifton, a Welsh Tech who resides over on the Yahoo Hammond Zone forum.</p>

Let me know however you get on!</p>

Cheers!</p>

Actually, I just noticed it's the PEDAL not all G's that's not working. This means its not likely to be the chip.</p>

Again, if we can isolate the part, I have it!</p>

Hello Brendon,</p>

<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">Both the 700 and 710 are two channel Leslies for two channel organs such as the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Aurora</st1:place></st1:City>. Each have a Rotosonic drum but the 710 adds a treble horn. Other multi-channel 9-pin cabinets have nonstandard connections so are not plug and play. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"></SPAN><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

Well,</p>

I would like to tell the story of today....I began very early, with a slow survey of the pedals and the issue surrounding the missing note, and in so doing, I finally went under both manuals, and cleaned the hard to get to plugs and board connections.(WoW.. now I knew where the board for the pedals is...!!!! )..!! </p>

No amount of care however, solved the problem with the pedal G#... </p>

I went ahead and made up some jumpers, after re-checking the pedal clavier itself, which I had removed... and I found, going down with the jumper wires (three .., one for the note, one for the bus connection and one for ground..).. .G, F#, F, E... etc.... that each new note would be out .... ,when the other end was on pin 9.......; so... , it is the pin 9 on the module, and therefore is the transistor, cap, or a res., for that pitch, and must be replaced... ; (And I could NOT EVER, well test, a cap. or transistor)...</p>

I may have to try to find the module and just switch.... Wouldn't that be effective?</p>

Thanks for reading!!!!!</p>
