Volume increases by itself on a T-211-1
Just brought a used T-211-1 for $90.00. After setting it up at home every once in a while the volume goes up without me touching the pedal. Any tweaks I can do to fix this? New organ owner....

You probably have poor electrical connection to the light bulb in the swell pedal assembly. If the light goes out, the organ will go to full volume.Current organs: AV, M-3, A-100

The wiring is pinched and tight coming into the back of the expression pedal. With care and patience should not be too bad to isolate.

Replace the motor run capacitor immediately.

Have a question. The black box around the expression pedal is stapled in place. Is there any problem with me removing the staples to adjust the wire and check both the bulb and photo cell then staple it back in place? Is the bulb and the photo sensor in this box? Thank you. Sorry for all the questions but a newbie here and so far can't find a video on line....Comment

The wiring harness should unplug in the back of the organ and you should be able to remove the whole pedal assembly for inspection. I haven't worked on a T200 for about 11 years but I'm sure that's the case as with other transistor spinet organs.Hammond A100, M102, X5, XB3, XB5, TTR-100,

Got into the box where the pedal is. No visible light. Trying to loosen the wire harness as suggested. I don't thing that there is a photo cell present unless it is somewhere else. Thought it would be in the black box that the pedal is in. Anyone know of a good service mechanic in NJ???? I am getting frustrated and scared to damage the unit.Comment

The bulb is in a black round housing near the pivot point, somewhat smaller than a roll of dimes. There would be 2 black wires coming off a metal cap on the end, and near the middle a half round piece of metal pivoting through a slot in the housing-this is the shutter. The bulb is in there, but the housing when closed is pretty light-tight so you probably wouldn't see anything without disassembly.Larry K

Thank you. Makes sense. Now how do I disassemble it? Take off the box itself?Comment

The light bulb socket just pops out of the light tunnel with the use of a screwdriver. No dismantling needed to inspect/change the bulb.Current organs: AV, M-3, A-100

Is this light socket in the black box, and if so, how would you get to it?Comment

The light tunnel (which has the bulb holder in one end and the photocell in the other end, and a shutter in the middle) is under the pedal itself, right behind the pedal "hinge".Current organs: AV, M-3, A-100

The black box that covers the pedal assembly can be removed by pulling the staples around its edges.Tom in Tulsa
