I'm reviving a L100PNS (S= pedal sustain) assembled Belgium (I live in the Netherlands). Nice job & no sweat so far. It's playable but dirty with lots of cracks, pops & static. TG runs smoothly. It has the rocker switches. Not the lower 16' to pedal switch. It has the pedal sustain board wired to the pedals. I encounter two things:
1. See photo's. The wiring of the AO-42 perf. amp is different form the parts layout schematic found in the manual. The preamp section on the right is wired differently, but I can figure that out. On the left of the board is a large 1000µF 16V el. cap with a (I think Zener) diode in parallel. It takes voltage from the voltage divider R234/R235 that goed to the pedal sustain board. I guess it's the 15V power supply. It's done very clumsily. Maybe the board came stock form the USA and in Antwerp they made this 15V supply??? Am I right and should I leave it in place?
2. On the bottom part of the organ there is a powercon connection , a jack line out and TWO 6 pin outs. That puzzles me because I guess I have the pre '71 version so I expected two 5 pin PR40 outputs. Or -if it's post '71- a 9 pin and 6 pin Leslie output..... However, I would very much like to rewire it so that I could connect it to my Leslie 145. Any thoughts on that?
Any help would be largely appreciated! In the meantime I start cleaning switches, recapping etc. etc. (I already repaired the non-functional vibrato amp and added Kon's mods)
