  • New Leslie cables??

    So yes I am definely new to the world of Hammond, but I’m loving ever bit of it. I think they are the most amazing instruments ever! I recently was doing research and found out that they still make the b3 but as a mk2 if I’m not mistaken. And the Hammond company also makes the 122a which is just like the original. I never knew about his! I was so intrigued by this and I was wondering if they still made the Leslie cables like the 5-6 pin to connect a b3 to a 122 Leslie???

    Yes, they still make the 5-6 and 6-6 pin cable assemblies. See the link below.

        Just do a search for leslie cables and you will find that there are dozens of places that sell these.
        If you have time, look at Ebay, as often you will find them much cheaper than buying new, although they are not always available.
        Unless the connectors are broken, any cable can be fixed by unsoldering the connector, cutting an inch or so off the cable and re-attaching so do not be concerned about buying used. The most common place for the cable to go bad is right at the connector where it is flexed excessively.

        FWIW...the newer B3 has several connector options for both Leslies and the organ and can have 6, 8 or 11 pin connectors, so the components need to be matched in input/output configuraton. I would imagine that some sort of interface could be made for just about anything, though, it one had mismatched connectors.
        Just curious...have you priced the B3 MK2?

        In theory, there is no difference between theory and reality.
        In reality, there is.

          Be advised, neither the B3 mk2 nor the 122a are "just like the originals".

          The B3 nowadays is a digital organ, "a clone of itself" so to speak.
          The 122a is sort of similar to the old 122, but of much lower quality with regards to the wood used; and the motors are much more trouble prone than the old units.
          Current organs: AV, M-3, A-100
          Current Leslies: 22H, 122, 770
