Love the singing with the organ. There were so many gigs in the 60's and 70's for organist singers. Several are captured on video. I grew up with a Hammond L112 in the house, but seemed to play the piano and guitar more. Even got very serious on guitar and went to music school on L.A. in 1984-'85. Then in 1996 I found a Lowrey Holiday Deluxe organ from this same era as the DSO/DSO-1 and TBO organs. I fell in love with that sound. I could recall dozens of instances where the Lowrey sound was used in TV sound tracks even more than Hammond. My buddies started collecting guitars and amps, but even at the lower '90's prlces I couldn't afford to collect anything. Not only that, when it comes to guitar I have my 4-5 favorite amps and two electrics and one acoustic and I'm good to go. However with organs, they all have a special place. I love Lowrey, Wurlitzer, Baldwin, Gulbransen, Conn, Hammond, Thomas, Kawai, and Yamaha. I've owned every one of these brands! And now my collection consists of 6 of these. Funny I've had a Hammond A100, M3's, H100's, and Leslie 122's, but now I just have my beloved '55 ebony Hammond S6 Chord Organ with added Necklace Reverb and AO-35 amp, and a 1972 Hammond X-66 and it's 11-77 tone cabinet. I also have a Hammond ER20 'decorative tone cabinet' amplified speaker with fluid column reverb ( Laurens Hammond's first spring reverb). See *Ken Griffin Page* (ggl that, but it's on the Theatre Organ Home Page) and go to NUMBER 34 at the bottom of the page. That's "Ken Griffin's Special Effects" and it shows pics and explanations of the fluid column spring reverb. Of course Laurens Hammond refined the design into the compact spring tank we are all familiar with now. I also have my favorite Wurlitzer organs. A 1948 Keyed electrostatic reed organ, where air only is allowed to vibrate the reed when a key is depressed. Great for classical and liturgical, but too slow of an attack for popular standards. So in 1953 Wurlitzer totally reinvented the electrostatic reed organ. Now all of the reeds vibrate in soundproof enclosures continuously and the key attack is instant. The 4600 console and 4410 spinets beginning in the middle 1950's were Wurlitzer's viable competition for Hammond. With these models came the worlds first SUSTAIN on an organ. Wurlitzer invented sustain. Each key has a capacitor and bleeder resistor. Using two capacitors allows short/medium/long sustain ( both caps in parallel give the long sustain). The Wurlitzer 4600 was the 25 pedal console model Ken Griffin played on these albums. Note the 'Ken Griffin Special Effects' mentioned above. So here are the records Ken played 4600 on: KEN GRIFFIN CRUISING DOWN THE RIVER KEN GRIFFIN SKATING TIME KEN GRIFFIN 67 MELODY LANE KEN GRIFFIN ANNIVERSARY SONGS (an Ep record is on ytb, search *Ken Griffin at the Organ - Wurlitzer electrostatic reed organ* ) Also see great animated article ggl- NORTH SUBURBAN HAMMOND ORGAN SOCIETY - TECH ARTICLES - WURLI 4600 Ken Griffin 67 Melody Lane was also Ken's TV show name. He had on organists and his jazz friends ( on ytb) Ken was friends with Les Paul and they worked together of Ken's sound, especially interesting on the Cruising Down the River album.

Yk if i can get the sound on digital?

KZbin is a funny place. A few nights ago, I was searching packard, packard project...etc. It didn't come up with your page. I just found your channel through a comment you left on a video by @PackardProjects. Glad to find more hands-on Packard videos.....thanks for posting! I have a couple Packard videos on my channel and are working on a 3rd today. If you'd like to take a look I'm at: www.youtube.com/@scatteredrustyprojects

Hey HPH I'm actually working on my 55 packard clippers brake system, I just had all of the brake lines replaced and had put fluid into the system and bled them but the brakes are still not wanting to work correctly, yes the brakes "work" but only for a little bit and usually only if you but it to the floor and the brakes seem to not wanna work at all if the car gets any kinda speed, I know it has fluid and I know the fluid is getting to the brakes but for some reason it's still being finicky, and weird thing too also is that the brakes are nice and firm and the pedal comes back up no problem when the car is stopped and not running but as soon as the car is running the brakes become soft and the pedal goes to nearly the floor before getting much resistance and the pedal doesn't wanna come back up vary well so I'm kinda stumped on what to do or look at or what, I'm hoping the master cylinder isent bad cause that would just suck but like I said I don't know. Is there anything you could maybe tell me that would probably point me in the right direction to hopefully getting this all figured out?

I thought I would add one more comment-I took the vibrator in my Snap-On Ignition Analyzer apart and repaired it yesterday, based on the information in this video! Thanks to what I learned here, my 50-60 year old ignition analyzer is now tested and working!

Great video! I am about to service a vibrator in a coil analyzer and this will help a very great deal!

Wow ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Is it really Normal for Packard to shut off front Running light when you pull headlights on

Thank you This Can Really Help me because I needed to pliers to even turn that thing

Easy to keep pedal out of way is to use bungee cord around steering column. Spraying a little PB blaster or similar product on brake lines aids in removal and allows nut to turn on brake line easing removal and installation When reinstalling I found easier to have unit loose from floor board enabling unit to be moved a bit to connect brake lines to avoid cross threading

Awesome explanation!

Having a hard time looking for part......and having a hard time having somebody rebuild it....any idea if any other brake booster would fit

That was fucking class. Excellent reproduction.

American Flyer trains of the 1950s used these vibrator tubes for their "Air Chime Whistles". Trains run on 60hz and the tubes send 600hz through the track which is picked up by a speaker in the locomotives. These whistle tubes are all going on 70 or more years old and more often than not they don't work. I have a few torn apart on my work bench and this video will definitely be helpful in repairing them.

Not really the same...

Trying to fix our TLO-1 If you have a service manual share it, got a terrible hum. Recapped the psu amp. Worked better then now its starting to blow fuses. Perhaps ust do button resistors next. Could be grounding.

Excellent video! Thanks

Eh screw Hammonds and jazz organs

Nice stuff!

We all laugh at March Polka, but I would like to remind you that at one point, it was considered serious enough to include on an instrument that would have cost the same as new car.

PICTURE URSELF IN A BOAT ON A RIVER WITH TANGERINE TREES AND MARMALADE SKIIIESS

Hallelujah

I got goosebumps. It’s uncanny how accurate to the original that is.

Hello! Good work! But what to do when this radio can receives only MW/LW bands? There are lots of EMI noise in cities and towns - because LED lighting on streets. Next to each lamp post there will be buzzing from a speaker.I mean an night and evening.

I have an old ELKA Capri 101 that does basically the same sound.

I have a Gibson g101 (made by lowrey) that can do it perfectly.

My gibson g101 which is made by lowrey sounds really close

the march sounded like a fucking metal drummer on a TR-68

march polka sounds like speed meal.

I trust you on the fact that this is the model they used and this does sound similar (pre-mix and master ofc) but man the TLO sounded EXACTLY the same (even pre-prod-mix-master). Man you should definitely start making longer videos where you show these old synths/organs/mellotrons etc, you sound like you could be hilarious, entertaining and informative.

Was the marching drum a reference to something or were you just being funny?

My right ear loved this

beautiful

my left ear feels lonely🥲

That was beautiful sir

na i like the march polka better lol

Picture yourself in a boat on a river..

Sounds just like from Sgt. Pepper.

It doesn't sound like Lucy in the sky at all without the march polka

That's pretty laser-pointed accurate to the sound, man, yeah. I feel like they might have put it through a Leslie or added a touch more vibratto somehow, though? It's probably documented, of course, so forgive me I'm wrong, but it sounds a bit more quavering on the original.

Wow suddenly I pictured myself in a boat on a river...

Damn now I need to listen to the full song

Why HASN’T Arturia done a digital software version of a Lowrey? Aside from Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, the other famous song to use a Lowrey Organ was Baba O’Riley by The Who

It goes to show you how iconic The Beatles will always be.

You can tell the tubes add a certain warmth to the sound.

JESUS I fell out of my chair with the marching drum and the perfectly dry “no not really” 😂😂😂

YAAAAA LETS GOO SO GOOD FRR ONE OF MY FAV SONGS

Now I wanna know who's idea was it to blend those 3 noises in particular , and why this thing was only featured on Lucy In the Sky

Amazing!!! I just found a TLO-R model, that has all of these registers besides the kinura. how genuine would it sound without that register?

My Dad bought one of these in later late 1960's. We were lower middle class and it was a big deal. My Dad was never one to want anything for himself. Less than 6 months later he had a massive stroke leaving his right side paralyzed. The organ just sat in the corner after that. It's sadder to me now than it was back then.
