Hammond B-3 Organ Repair

Family-Life Church had its organ repaired by a certified technician. This video explains the service that was done to it.

Laurens Hammond was a genius ahead of his time. The Hammond Organ is a true piece of Americana.

Great Video. I have a T-200 in my living room Mom and Dad got me in 1968 while I was in HS. It was in storage awhile back. Just recently oiled the cups with Hammond Oil. Nice to know it will not go out of tune. BTW, I'm 71!

Thanks for the tour of the Hammond B3!!

[@noalfunkner9000]

Thank You Very Much Sir.

[@JBSLLA]

Thanks Kris. You talked me through a tough Hammond decision this afternoon. Wish I were closer to Pittsburgh. Some day I hope to watch a Pirates game. Take it easy.

Back in the 50s, 60s and 70s, a new B3/C3 was the same price as a optioned out new muscle car. With inflation about $30,000

[@robwitt1621]

I will soon be receiving my grandfather's C3. It needs a little work and some rewiring due to mice chewing through some of the wires

How do you repair a tone generator clutch?

[@JC-td4gg]

Had my '57' B3 generator cleaned. Used cleaner spray to clean dust and oil from small springs. Did the trick as the organ sounds fantastic now.

I use Hammond B3X an official Hammond ipad app. Some of my favorite presets have all the hum, key click and leakage noise left in.

[@brothercounselor]

dave, have you ever saw on any Hammond organ of the Hammond name decal logo fading and coming off of the organ?.>.(HAMMOND)

[@patgagne2650]

You can get really nice reproduction Hammond logos if you want! Just make a search online and you will find organ parts shop selling the old smaller logo and the larger Hammond logo with the medal that was made between 1969-1975 ! Good luck !

Me Gustaría su video en español

[@tomsmith8781]

When on the road. You better know how to service and repair your B!

[@rmo52]

I did. Had schematics for every piece of gear. The B-3 seldom had any hassles. The Leslie 122 had a 6550 tube fail once; that’s about it. And the treble driver on the 122. Love those days and that gear.

David, did you know Bob at Electronic Instrument Service, Oakland, Calf?

[@cranfillnathan7411]

I have a Hammond Organ model 9722j serial da 02123, seeking advice on any common power supply problems.

[@cranfillnathan7411]

There's power to it, but not turning on and I accidentally killed the indicator light on the on switch, I'm very inexperienced using my multimeter tool.

[@oziasbenjamin8322]

My Hammond organ the key boards no sound comes only the Bass pedal works any suggestions for repair

[@robintaylor8663]

My tone generator very noisy. Noise stop after oiling but return. Can I oil it again.

[@christopheranton13]

I’m not an expert but mine was so seized up that it took Sime heavy oiling to get up and running again. That being said. Check with an expert first!

[@claudettebarsh9306]

Oil it every year.

[@getyourkicks]

Can I use my piano amp on the Hammond b3

[@westrokker]

I have a guy living near me giving away a Hammond Aurora model. I’m debating about taking it because it doesn’t work and I have no idea what it would cost to fix.... any advice?

[@RRickenbacker]

Putting cigarettes on other people's equipment is rude.

[@louiscornale5667]

Nice video have a cv that needs work any one in my u know?

[@louiscornale5667]

That's looking for tech in NY area

[@gman76utube]

I’m trying to give away a Hammond organ. Nobody seems to want it. Any suggestions?

[@iamcharlesgaines]

wait?.... What?

[@ladariusrodgers8726]

Is it still available

[@BetamaxFlippy]

Let me guess, it's one of the fully electronic LSI models. If that's the case no wonder nobody wants it, but you could always give it to a Goodwill.

[@zeusantony5027]

Built like a truck and sounds like a truck.

[@rcaruso5214]

This guy should brush up on his Hammond history. the Hammond B3 was first made in 1935 not 55. it was made for more like 40 years.

[@sebastianiodice3394]

No, actually, the MODEL B3 was first commercialised in 1955. the first Hammond organ was made in 1934 and presented to the public in 1935, and it's the A model, and from that year on they continued producing other models, before the B3 came out.

[@claudettebarsh9306]

B3 made in 1955.

[@geoelectro]

At the end of WW2, the BV was introduced, first with vibrato and made until 1947. In 1948 the B-2 was introduced adding split vibrato (assignable to either keyboard) and made until 1954. Then, in 1955 the B-3 was introduced adding percussion touch response. That ran until 1975. As of today, I’ve been servicing Hammonds for 49 years.
