I'm excited to see how this does when I put the mount back together and start testing. I might need to end up redoing things, but I'll have to wait and see!

With guest Etienne Charles. March 1, 2020 The Blue Note Columbia, Missouri, USA "We Always Swing" Jazz Series www.wealwaysswing.org/ Joey DeFrancesco played my Hammond right before the world started locking down. During soundcheck, he wanted to listen to it in the hall and says "yo, get up and play". My heart sank, I'm terrible and it was Joey! "dude, I'm horrible" I say. "I don't care, I know ...

Dusted off the EWI I picked up a few years ago and decided to try to figure it out. I'm well aware this isn't good.

Hammond m3 key contact issues
Переглядів 8869 років тому
Problem with the lower manual high C key contacts lining up. They look somewhat bent too. I'm relieved this is the only key with this issue. The wiring loom in the manual scares me.
Hammond m3
Переглядів 1679 років тому
First, excuse the playing..lots of practicing to do. I picked up this hammond M3 last week, and was pretty gross (the reason it is still in my garage). Caked on dust, nicotine stains, an old mouse nest! I've been cleaning it up, added a foldback to the upper manual, and currently in the middle of a foldback on the lower.
Stuck key?

Where did you source your new belts?
I saw an old post in organ forum about pedal drawbar leakage into lower manual…just curious if you got it sorted out…and it looks like you re-capped a tone generator on one of the organs I had an issue w an M-3 that played last bass pedal pressed triggering on both manuals I lifted /shifted the wire harness and it cleared up
My RA axis suddenly goes to full speed (faster than speed 9), any ideas why that happens? Thank you.
The GGX & CGX-L seem to have the same "frame"---the "l" version has larger gears & motors as well as a 31mm CW bar. The CGX has a a 20mm. Is the housing all that holds the CW bar on via threads? Was wondering if it can be modified for a 31mm bar?
Do you happen to know how to replace the power plug port? Just got my CGX delivered yesterday and it's broken right out of the box. Piece of metal appears to broken off or bent inside of it. Or do you have video of your power plug replacement?
ugh that's a drag. I broke mine a year or so ago due to a cord wrapping incident. If you're comfortable with a soldering iron, they are pretty easy to replace. I think I ended up using a Switchcraft L721A connector (about $5) and swapped mine out.
@@gaker1 Is that L721A a "direct replacement?" In other words, will the existing cable connect to it as it does the OEM, or does it require a new cable?
@@BobJohnsonSince1970 it just worked for me.
Hello Greg, Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. Hope we have soon the results. I have two questions : - could you precise the characteristics of the bearing use for the worm gear axis (dimensions) - why did you mesure so precisely the gap adjustement between the motor part and the worm shaft part ? In my case, I notice that if they were quite exactly the same, when I reassemble all, the case holding removable part is pushing le motor/worm gear assembly against the case holding fixed part that completely blocks the motor/worm assembly and prevents it from gently moving.
They are 608 bearings. I don't think the measuring was all that necessary, just felt like doing it.
do you know where to get the sprockets? My CGX motor has one with the lip and one without.
Sorry, I do not. What I have here are what came stock on mine. Consider reaching out to celestron? If you do some searching, you can likely find them elsewhere for far far cheaper. Will just take a bit of detective work to figure out the right part name, etc.
Yeah, sent them an email yesterday and in the meantime I have been searching "elsewhere". Thanks. Your vids have helped alot as the CGX is just about the same. Making my own vid which will come out soonish.@@gaker1
About to do the same thing with my CGX! This is a major help! Thanks for posting this.
Great story!
