I had the Drop Resister side of the Run Switch Fail and the Start Motor wouldn't Rotate Up to Start Speed. I had the Resistor Smoking Trying to Start the Motor and hadn't yet thought about Jumpering the Resistor. Figuring this out solved the problem. This happened on a Similar Vintage Organ, Probably a C-2 Serial Plate missing, in a Bill Beer cabinet with the slightly smaller Delay Line, but with "Ratchet" Drawbars.
I am so happy I stumbled on this video. I am kind of having the opposite problem, I just purchased a CV console that hasn't been running and decades. After adding oil and being patient, where I am at now is when I hit my start switch my tone generator spins although making a lot of noise and I don't think it's coming up to proper speed, when I hit my run switch everything just seems to fizzle out. Now I noticed when you hit your run switch by itself I was hearing a hum. When I hit my run switch I am getting absolutely nothing. Do you have any ideas of what my problem maybe and is there a way of troubleshooting if my run motor is bad I noticed you were messing with that resistor, when I placed my voltmeter across that resistor I think I was getting straight continuity. Anyway any help would be greatly appreciated I am dying to get this thing running
Bluesman311 - Thank you so much for sharing this diagnostic dilemma along with the schematic analysis and demonstration of the problem resolution. That was outstanding. Please do more of this!!! This is very helpful!!!! :)
LOL - You are a blessing man!! Keep on helping us out. You are who we need to learn from so that things may be done properly. I appreciate you to the highest and look forward to spending some time with you this summer. :) Be sure to check your email. I sent you something. LOL
Hey, you fixed the atrocious video quality! You should have posted a tutorial of how you did THAT!!! But seriously, JD, fantastic job. Put up a few more like this and you'll be out of bidness.
+organfreak , I had to convert the video prior to uploading to UA-cam and I discovered that the resolution was way too low after the conversion. I'm going to try for HD soon. Why don't you post some vids of playing organ bass?
I was under the impression that when the start switch is disengaged that circuit and resistor is not in engaged any longer?
I installed a new resistor to my A-100 The run motor still wont run. Is there a wrong way to install the resistor?
And yet another from the DR! Are gonna go one to show where da "Air" comes from?

+Dr. Arthur D. Kemp thank you for all of the praise. I'm just trying to keep up with you : )

+TheB3DR Because I am too lazy?
+organfreak . Don't make me come out there. I'll bring Murph!
+TheB3DR No thanks, my organs are already fucked-up enough!
