Thank You!! Ryan Wade This was a type of situation that I ran into early on in my Leslie repair training. I have seen it several times since then. Your only hope is that if you are out somewhere playing and a fuse blows that its because the fuse itself was old and not because there is something wrong with the amp that caused it to blow. The reason is - you can buy a fuse at an area store but a repair is a much longer process.
Dr. Kemp, love your videos. I recently acquired a 1956 Hammond M3 and was wondering if you could talk about whether or not to change the power line from ungrounded to a grounded line and how to safely do it? Thank you.
Is it possible for the fuse to be bad but the tubes still light up. Leslie spins fast and will not switch to slow but the tubes are lighting up on the leslie amp.
When the fuse is bad the tubes will be out because there will be no power going to the tubes to light them. Check the Leslie cable when the tubes are on and the rotors spin fast.
Hi Dr. Kemp. Love your videos. We just got a RT3 and 147 at our church. I wired a 6 pin socket and half moon switch to the organ. However, having a problem with the leslie like this video describes. However, I do have sound, and the tubes and fuses are fine. The motors keep spinning on high speed. What do you think I should check next? God bless you. We truly appreciate these videos you have been producing.
Thank you for your kind words Brother Clarence. I am glad that youi are finding the videos helpful. Since you have watched this video, I am going to assume that you have check your fuse and found it to be in tact. You should still measure it though to make sure. Beyond that, the first thing I would suggest is to double check your work. Make sure that your wires coming from your switch are going to the correct location. Also make sure your plug that allows you to connect to the Leslie 147 is also correctly wired. Either of those can keep your Leslie running on one speed. The next question I'd have is was your Leslie 147 amplifier rebuilt? If not, you may contact me at Vintageb3organ@outlook.com about having that rebuilt - unless you purchased it from a company that you can take it back to have them do the rebuild. If you bought it from a store, the amp should have been rebuilt before it was sold to your church.
Hello Kemp! My organ turns on just fine. The rotor spins as should, but now it stopped play meaning I get no sound. Before my organ stopped completely making a sound I would get static noises from one of the tubes... Any suggestions?
Great Video bruh. I'm slowly learning about these things. Keep Holding it High 6! (All I needed to see was "First" and "ALP" in the background)
Great Job sharing!

Remove the tubes in your organ and clean the pins. There are videos on how to do that. I have made a couple of them as well.
Good vid, but the one you said was 1.2 amp actually said 1.5.
Yes Felis - I was looking at 1.5 and saying 1.2. You are right on. It was 3 am. Thanks
What if the roter isnt spining at all?
Rebuild and clean the motors and properly adjust them.
