    signals In the tone generatorassembly. It contains 74 tone^rfieels having various numbers ofteeth, with suitable gears fordriving them at various speeds froma main shafc extending along thecenter. Each pair of tone wheelsis mounted on a shaft and betweenthem is a bakellte gear held by acoil spring forming a mechanicalvibration filter. As the gear isnot rigidly attached to the shaft,any pair of wheels which may bestopped accldently will notinterfere with the operation ofthe others

    .

    Adjacent to each tone heel is amagnetized rod with a pick-upcoll wound on it. These magnetsextend through the front and back

    of the generator, and are held byset screws which can be loosenedin case adjustment is evernecessary^ Figure 1-3 shows whereto find the magnet for any fre-quency number. In this drawing thedotted lines indicate frequencies^ose tone wheels are on the sameshaft.

    On top of the tone generator assem-bly are small transformers andcondensers, forming tuned filtersfor the higher frequencies. Theyare not likely to need replacing.In case one filter becomes inopera-tive, both the transformer andcondenser must be replaced with amatched set from the factory.Figure 1-^ shows the location ofthese filters.

    Under each key are a numbexof contact springs (foe thefundamental and harmonics ofChat key) which touch an equalnumber of bus bars when the keyis pressed. (Some keys at theright end of each manual havefewer springs, as noted inFleure 1-5) All contact springsand bus bars have precious metalcontact surfaces to avoid corros-loo, and the manuals are sealed toejcclude dust so far as possible.

    In case a contact becomes dirty inspite of these precautions, a busbar shifter is provided in eachmanual to slide the bus barsendwise and thus provide a freshcontact surface

    .

    The busbar shifting mechanismfor the lower manual will befound by looking on the under-side left-hand end of Chemanual. A black wood endblock will be observed.One-haLf inch from the front ofthis block is a drilled hole.Within this drilling is a

    The key contacts are connectedthrough resistance wires to themanual terminal strips- Themanual wiring chart, Figure 1-5shows how the contacts of eachkey are connected to the properfrequencies to supply fhefundamental and harmonics ofthat particular key. The blankspaces indicate that no keycontact is used, inasmuch asthe highest harmonics of thehighest keys are above the rangeof the tone generator and are notrequired.

    The busbars of each manual, eachone carrying a certain harmonic,are fed to bus amplifiers, thento the harmonic tonebars for thatmanual

    PEDAL KEYBOARD - The 13 playingpedals are operated by the left

    1-6

    foot. Like the manuals* theyhave light and dark keysarranged in the standard octavepattern. Figure 1-6 identifiesthe pedals and shows thegenerator frequency numberassociated with each. A pedalcontact on each pedal closeswhen a pedal is pressed,allowing the correct generatorfrequency to reach the pedaltonebar amplifier. As thepedal switches are in a seriesarrangement, only one pedalplays at a time. If two pedalsare pressed* only the lowerpedal will speak. When thepedal Is released, the lastplayed pedal note continues tosound for a length of time,determined by the position ofthe PEDAL SUSTAIN and PEDALLEGATO tabs.

    HARMOMIC TONEBARS - The leftgroup of 7 harmonic tonebars(Figure 1-7) is associatedwith the lower manual, andthe right group of 9 tonebarscontrols the upper manual. Bysliding these tonebars in andout, the organist is able tomiK the fundamental andharmonics (or overtones) in

  • various proportions- Thedistance a bar Is pulled outdetermines the strength of thecorresponding hamonic; and ifa tonebar is set all the uay In,the harraontc it representsis not present in the mixture.Neither manual will playunless at least one of itsronebars is pulled out partof the way, with theTONEBARE tab pressed, or apreset tab Is pressed.

    The conebars slide over9 busbars, representingintensity levels, and eachtonebar "has two contactsconnected together by a5600 ohm resistor. As thetonebar moves, at least oneof the contacts is touchingsome busbar at all tinies andtherefore there is no "deadspot" in the tonebar motion.The 5600 ohm resistor avoidsfin actual sho^t circuit betweenadjacent busbars.

    These busbars extend the lengthof the tonebar assembly but aresplit in the mtddle to form twogroups of 9 (see Figure 5-1.)Those in the left group,under the lower manual tonebarsare connected to the base of thetransistor Q-351. Those on Cheright group, under the uppermanual tonebars, are connectedto the base of transistor Q-85^through the upper manual TONEBAR& PERCUSSION tablet.

    1-7 PEDAL TONEBAR - The centertonebar adjust the volume of thepedals by sliding over 9 busbarsmechanically segregated from theupper and lower manual busbars.The output from this busbar isfed in parallel with thesignal from the lower manual tothe base of transistor q-S51,

    1-a EXPRESSION PEDAL - The "express-ion" pedal, sometimes called"swell" pedal (Figure 1-1), isoperated by the player's rightfoot and varies the volume ofboth manuals and pedals together

    When the pedal is tilted back(closed) by pushing on theplayer^s heel, the music issoftest, and when pushedforward (opened) by the player'stoe, the music is loudest.

    1-9 CONTROL TABS - There are 23 tabsOQ tlie T-5O0 series Instrument,each providing some change inthe instrument's operation.

    To have the instrument soundafter turning it on, tabs suchas THEATER BRASS and ENSEMBLEwill place the upper and lowermanuals in operation. A tabis in use when in the downposition. Functions of thevarious tabs from left tft right,as they appear on the Instru-ment, are given in the followingparagraphs

    .

    1-10 PRESET TABS - Two preset tabsate provided for the lowermanual; namely, TONEEAES andENSEMBLE. Four preset tabs areprovided for the upper manual;namely, TONEBARE and PERCUSSION,STRINGS S', FULL TIBIAS 16',THEATER BRASS 16'

    .

    1-11 PERCUSSION CONTROL TABS - Thereare 7 tabs lAich control percus-sion. These operate in eitherthe up or down position ofthe upper manual TONEBARS fiPERCUSSION tab. When theTONEBARS & PERCUSSION tab Isup, percussion only is playedon the upper manual; when thetab is down, tonebar effects andpercussion are playedsimultaneously. For tonebar

    1-7

  • effects alone on the uppermanual^ Che seven percussiontabs must be in up posttton,and the TONEBAES & PERCUSS ICWCah muac be down.

    1-12 VIBRATO TABS - The T-Seriesinstruments are equipped withfour Vibrato tabs to vary theVibrato effect . An additionaltab (VIBRATO ON) to the leftof Che vibrato group permitsthe vibrato effect to beintroduced inimediately.Various vibrato effects areavailable by use of the Cabs>Vibrato Celeste III laachieved by depressing bothVIBRATO CELESTE I AND II Cabs.

    1-13 REVERBERATION - Three degreesof reverberation are obtainedby the use of either or bothtabs labeled REVERB I andREVERB II. These tabs. Inaddition to Cuming thisfeature on, govern the loudnessor amount o reverberation.

    1-H VOLUME SOFT, BRILLIANCE TAB,AND REITERATION RATE CONTROLThe VOLUME SOFT tab controlsthe overall volume of theorgan and Is useful uhenplaying might disturb others.

    The BRILLIANCE tab in the upposition bypasses a portion ofthe higher frequencies toground, making the organ sounddeeper.

    The REITERATION RATE control,as the name Implies, adjuststhe rate or speed of reitera-clon when used in conjunctionuith the percussion tabs aadreiterate cab.

    1^15 ?DAL ROCKER TABS, LOWER LEFTEND BLOCK - Upon playing the

    bass pedals, a normal decayand attack axe heard when thepedal tonebar is pulled out.Either IS' or 3' pitch iaavailable by means of thePEDAL a'/l&' cablet.

    Use of the PEDAL LEGATOtablet provides a very slowpedal decay which many beginnersfind useful, as the pedal lastplayed sounds until the next oneIs played, PEDAL SUSTAINcauses the pedal tone to decayslowly. PEDAL MUTE givesadded deep tone to the pedalswhen desired. Further In-formation concerningelectrical function Is givenIn paragraph 2-5.

    1-16 TREMOLO ROCKER TABS, lowerLEFT EHD BLOCK The TREMOLOON/OFF Cab connects theorgan signal to the Tremolospeakers when "on". TheTREMOLO SLOW/FAST tab controlsthe speed of the Tremolo, whichruns whenever the organ is "on".

    .

    A vibrato chorus effect, similarto the effect of ti*io or threeslightly out-of-tune frequenciesmixed together, is obtained whenthe vibrato output signal ismixed with a portion of signalwithout vibrato. This isaccomplished by the "VibratoChorus" tab, which causes onlypart of the incoming signal toappear across the vibrato lineand the rest across a resistorla aeries with the line. Asthe vibrato effect is appliedto the pa.rt of the signalappearing across the line butnot to the part appearingacross the resistor, thecombinaticn producer a choruseffect.

    and "Vibrato Celeste II" tabs.These can be used Independentlyor together. Use of these tabsintroduces a resistor networkat the far end of the vibratollne changing the terminationimpedance. This causes a re-^flective signal to appear inthe line, which Is picked up

    , by the scanner.

    Figure 2-2 shows only the"vibrato" channel of the ampli-fier. All tones sent throughthis channel have the vibratoeffect. When vibrato is notdesired, the "Vibrato On" tabin the up position feeds thesignal through the "non-vibrato'channel

    .

    Figure 2-3 shows the vibratoline box. It is mounted on therear of the upper manual.

    A celeste effect Is obtainableby the use of "Vibrato Celeste I"

    The scanner Is mounted on theleft end of the generator and

    Signals coming from the vibratoline appear on the stationarysegments and are picked up, oneat a time, by the rotor.Connection to Che rotor is madeby graphite brushes as shownin Figure 2-4. When assembled,graphite brushes iniEt be nocloser Chan 1/16" from outerend of contact pin or brasssleeve. Adjustment may be made^if necessary, by bending legsof the brush lug. Brushesshould not concacc each otherIn operation.

    2-4 MANUAL BUS BAR AMFLIFTEES^124-000015 S 124-000016(See figures 5-3 & 5-4)The busbar amplifiers for bothmanuals are located to therear of the control panel.The lower tnanual boardcontains one amplifier foreach of the seven harmonicbus bars. The outputs ofthese amplifiers are routedto the tonebars and voicemesh. The upper manual boardcontains one amplifier foreach of the nine harmonics.Amplified signals are fed toChe tonebars and three presetvoice meshes. All the ampli-fiers have a response curve de-signed to decrease the amount ofkey transient- A typical busamplifier receives its inputsignal from the busbar. Thesignal is amplified and sent tothe proper tonebar and/or voicemesh.

    The voice mesh mentioned selectsthe proper concent and ampllcudeof each harmonic necessary for aparticular voice.

    2-5 PEDAL KEYBOARD AND SWITCH, FEDALKEYER BOARDS, 124-000025.124-000026, 124-000027 (SeeFigure 5-6) - The pedal keyboardand switch assembly is locatedunder the power and reverberationamplifier. Three pedal keyerboards. No. I, 2 and 3, are alsomounted on Che switch assembly.Board 1 contains the keyers forthe five lowest pedal notes(25 through 29). Board 2contains Che keyers for the pedalfrequencies #30 through ff33 , andBoard 3, the keyers for fre-quencies #34 throu^ tf37. Thisprovides one keyer for eachpedal note

    .

    All pedal keyers operate In thesame manner. Following is atypical function, involving thelowest pedal (C) . Switch S-751is closed, placing +15V on C-751.This voltage forward biases Q-753through resistors E-756 and B-757.This allows the generator signal,present at pin 6 to pass to theeoimltter. All emitters arecommon on the boards and provide

    ' the input signal to the highpass active filter networklocated on pedal keyer board ff3.Board rfl also contains an erasecircuit and buffer stage, workingIn conjunction with all pedals.Whan any pedal is pressed, anegative pulse is coupledacross C-750 to the base ofq-750. This negative pulsereverse biases Q-750, causing apositive pulse to appear at thecollector. The positivepulse passes through D-750 andforward biases Q-75]

    ,

    resulting in a negative going

    2-4

  • pulse to ground at the base ofQ-752 and the cathodes o pedaldiodes D-751 through D-763,This is the erase pulse andturns off any pedal keyer whichdoes not have its associatedpedal pressed. The buffer stageQ-752 transfers the positive DCsignal from the keyer and theerase pulse to other organfunctions at pin 8.

    2-6 PEDAL DIVIDER & FILTER BOARDASSEMBLY. 12^--00017& (See Figure5-7) - The Pedal Divider andFilter Board Assembly is locatedon the power and reverberationamplifier diassls. It providesaiDplificaCion, shaping anddivision by four bistablefrequency dividers.

    Triggering4. Main and Alternate

    Channel Gates

    A. 1 1/4 HARMONIC GENERATORThe output of this circuitis used only aa part of thechimes voice.

    The circuit receives itsinput at pin 11 from the

    2-7

  • upper manual 5ch hacmonicbuss amplifier. The signalis amplified by Q514, Q515and q5l6. The resultantsquare wave output providesthe Input to IC501, IC501is a *J-K Flip Flop integra-ted circuit. The collectorsupply voltage for the ICand Q51fc Is a result of theaction of D12, a 5 voleZener diode

    -

    The output from 1C501, pin 83 coupled to a uaveshapingnetwork and to the outputpin 14.

    *J-K Flip Flop - IC 510 is asingle package two stage bi-stable divider. Failure ofone stage requires thereplacment of the IC package.Several pins of the IC pack-age are not used in thiscircuit application.

    B. NOKMAL PERCUSSION KEYING -In the fionnal percussionmode, when a key is depressedon the upper manual, 220Kohms of resistance areconnected between pin 15 andground. As a result, thepositive voltage at pin 15is reduced. This negativechange is differentiated byC517 and applied to thebase of Q512 (normally on).The resulting positive pulseat Q512 collector Is coupledto Q513, turning it on. Thenegative change, at thecollector of Q513, is coupledby C510, forward biasing D509and D510. C511 is alsocharged. Since the pulse usedto charge C511 is momentary,C511 begins to dischargeimmediately

    .

    With the Guitar and Chimeaswitch in the off position^pin 10 is grounded- Thedischarge path of C511 issplit. One path is throughD510, R537, and the combina-tion of Q510 and q5ll. Theother is through D511 andR5i6 to ground. This pro-vides for the short decaytime. When either theChimes or Guitar switch isdepressed, the ground isremoved from pin 10 and thesecond discharge path isopened. The result is alonger decay tlrue.

    The entire action will berekeyed when an additionalkey Is depressed. The voltageat the input will drop inincrements with each key de-pressed and result in anoutput pulse fed Co Q5i0 andQ511. This type of keyingis referred to as Legatotype percussion,

    REITERATIOM KEYING ANDTRIGGEEIWG - When Chereiteration tab is depressed,the percussion keying busbarin the upper mariuaJ is con-nected to pin 2. Withnormal percussion, it wasconnected to pin 15,

    When an upper manual key isdepressed, a 220K resistorconnects pin 2 to ground.This causes the base oftransistor Q501 (normallyoff) to drop from +23 voltsto approximately +22,5 voltswhich causes it to conduct.The collector of Q501 risesto +23 volts. The +23 voltsis routed to pin 4, whichis connected to the reiter-

    2-e

  • D.

    atlon rate control on thecontrol panel, and also tothe top of R506.

    Froin Pin 4 through to thewiper of the telterationcoi>trol, which is connectedto pin 18, Che voltage isfed to R508 and R509. Thevarying voltage applied topin 18 causes the astablemultivibrator (Q506 and(J507> to vary tn frequency.

    The positive 23 volts appliedCO E506 causes D502 to beforward biased. This actionbrings the junction of R506and D502 to a positive 15volt level. This 15 voltscauses D503 to be forwardbiased and subsequentlybecomes the supply voltage.

    The outputs are taken alter-nately from the bases of themultivibrator transistors.The negative pulses driveChe main and alternate gatecircuits.

    MAIH Am ALTERNATE CHANNELGATES - The main channelgate circuit consists oftransistors Q50e, Q509 , Q510,Q311.

    As Q506 and q507 (MulCi-vibrator transistors) con-duct alternately

    pulses

    from Che base of Q507 aresupplied to the emitter ofQ511, the gating transistor^and Q510, a grounded baseamplifier. The AC signalon the base of Q511 isInsufficient for qSll toconducts The pulses from

    the base of Q507 supplysufficient bias co causeconduction of Q511,

    Through Q511, two signalpaths exist, one for thegating signal and one forthe music signal. Theusable portion of the musicsignal passes through thebase collector junction ofq5ll, through R556 (MainNull Control), to the baseof Q509 . The music signalis amplified by Q509 andcontrolled as to amountof output by the settingof R557 (Percussion LevelControl).

    The gating signal, as wasmentioned previously, isapplied to the emittersof qSlO and Q511. Thesignal which goes throughQ511 appears at the col-lector with the musicsignal and is applied tothe base of Q509 . Thegating signal alsoappears aC the collectorof q510 and is directlycoupled to the base ofq503. From the emitterof qSOS, the signal iscoupled to the emitterof Q509. The signal fromthe emitter of Q509 appearsat the collector out ofphase with the signalimpressed on its base.As a result, the twogating signals are outof phase and cancella-tion takes place- TheMain Null Control (R556)Is to affect maximumcancellation of the gatingpulses.

    2-9

  • The operation of thealternate channel gate isidentical as that descri-bed for Che main channel.

    Of special note is that R557(Percussion Level Control)is the oommon collector loadfor both Q502 and Q509. Asa result, the gain of bothgates Is controlled by R557.

    2-15 AUTO CHORD BOAED (124-000179)

    A. 1. Non-Autochord Manual Mode

    The lower manual input signalsare connected to pin 4, throughC? to base of common emitter Ql.For a 5inv input signal* approx-imately X5niv appear on thecollector Ql. This signal isfed through C3 to the base oftransistor Q5, which is partof the gate and differentialamplifier circuit consistingof Q2.

    2. HOn-Automatic AccompanimentMode

    In the non-automat ic accoropani--ment Diode, pin 11 is groundedby a switch contact in theRhythm III unit. This causesthe collector of QIO to switchfrom OV to approMimately

    -19VDC.This DC level is connectedthrough R37, D2, RIS, RU to theemitters of gates Q4 and Q5-

    The emitters Q4 and Q5 arenow at --5VDC due to the emitterbase junction and Q4 and Q5 areturned on. The signal on thebase of Q5 is amplified by Q5and fed through Rll to the baseof q3. The signal on theemitter of Q3 is connectedthrough R18, R6 to the emitterof Q2. Q2 aniplifies the signalto approximately ?00 mv P-Pon Che collector of Q2. Thisis fed through part of levelcontrol R5, through C4 and R12,and to the lower manual preamp

    2-11

  • B.

    in Che organ- Lower manuallevel is adjusted by R5.

    Autoniatle AccompanimentHode

    In the automatic accompani-ment mode, pic II is notconnected to ground in theRhythm III unit. Theappropriate track, differ-entiated ouCput is connectedto pin 7 of the Autochofd PUB.This is approximately 1 mswide -5V P-P spike, which isconnected through 24 to thebase of q?.

    When Che player depresses alower manual key, pin 9becomes connected to groundthrough a 220K resistor.The -20VDC at pin 9 risesapproximately 2V. Thischanges the bias of Q8 andits collector switches fromOV to -20VDC, The -20VDCis connected through K23 tothe collectoc of Q7, whichallows the repetitive spikeon the base of Q7 to appearon its emitter. Q7 acts asan emitter follower each timea key is depressed. Thenegative spike is fed throughR21, D3 Co Che base of pulseamplifier Q6. The positivegoing spike at Che collectorof Q6 ia fed through C6,integrated by R15 and C5 andthe resulting negative pulseis fed Through R14 to theemitters of gates Q4 and Q5,Since Che input signal fromthe manual Is at the baseof Q5 (as described in uon-automacic accompaniroenc mode),

    the amplified signal onceagain appears at the outputpin 6, however , the outputoccurs at the repetitiverate as determined by thetrack signal applied to pin 7.

    Since Q2 and q3 are part ofthe differential amplifier,the resulting undesirable DCchange which could occur atthe output can be adjustedCo a minimum, so that onlythe desired audio signalvariation can be seen at theoutput collector of QZ. Also,each time a key is depressedthe resulting DC level changeat pin 9 is fed through CIOto the base of Q9, which isa pulse amplifier. Theresulting -20VDC pulse onthe collector of Q8 is fedthrough pin 10 and is usedby Che Rhythm III unit forthe touch response mode andfor legato keying from Chemanual of the Brush and SnareDrum voices-

    C. 1. Hpn-AutQ Accompaniment PedalMode

    In the non-auto accompaniment^ pedal mode of operation, pin 15

    is not grounded by Rhythm 111;and when a pedal is played,approximately +9V is appliedto pin 19, through DIO, R49and to base of Q16, QI6 isCumed off and its collectorswitches to approximately -15V.This signal is fed through R46Co base of Q15 and turns offQ15. Q15 is used as a ooisegate, and when it turns offit allows any signal whichappears on its collector to

    2-12

  • be coupled tKrougli C15 to thebase of pedal preamplifier Q20.

    When a ptdal Is depressed, the8' and 16' signals are appliedthrough diodes to pins 21 and13. The +9V is also conneccedtbroueh R50 D13 co the baseof Q19, This positive voltageturns on Q19 , and its emitterrises to approxtmatiely +SVDC.This DC level is fed through R59

    ,

    and it provides forward bias forthe diode from the pedal S'divideri and the 8' pedal signalis fed through Ii60 and CL5 tothe base of Q20. It should beremembered that Q15 noise gatewas also turned "off" by the+9VDC, which thus allows the 8'signal to appear at the base ofQ20.

    Q20 is a common emitter amplifier,and its collector output is con-nected back to the pedal pre-amplifier in the organ.

    2-17 RHYTHM III - Theory of Operation

    A. MASTER OSCILLATOR - The masteroscillator is a relaxationoscillator controlled by aprogramm-^ble unijunction tran-sistor (PUT). The rate iscontrolled by varying thecharging current for CIthrough the control panelmounted potentiometer. Theoutput of the oscillatordrives a buffer transister,which in turn drives thefirst stage of a five-stagecounter.

    B. COUNTER - The five stagecounter is made up of 3 dualJ-K, DTL flip-flops. One-half of IC 3 is used toprovide pulses (at a beatrate) to the lamp one-shot

    2-U

  • only when stages 2 chrough5 of the counter are resetby Q3 and Q6. The five-stage counter normallycounts to 32 beforerestarting. When eitherthe Waits or the Slow Rockrhythm patterns are calledfor, Che output of the fourthdivider is fed back to thethird divider through q6.This feedback pulse willcause the counter to restartafter a count of 24. Theoutput of the fourth divideris also used to trigger aone-shot through R21 and C34,which drives the tempo lampat a measure rate.

    C . TOUCH STAET CONTROL - TheTouch Start circuit is aset-reset bistable comprisedof transistors Q8 and Q9 andreelacors RSii through R7i,The output of transistor QSprovides signals for voicegates on the Voicing Board(124-000180) and also forgenerator gating circuitscontrolled by transistorsQ7 and QIO.

    When a positive input pulse iaapplied to Jl-2 (reset input),transistor Q8 provides aground signal that turnsoff the voic^e gating circuits(Jl-B) , and Is inverted bytransistor Q7. TransistorQ7 provides a positive signalto transistors Q3 and Q6which reset counter stage 2through 6 and enable the beatrate divider (Fin 9 of IC 3),

    When a positive pulse isapplied to any one of thethree "start" inputs (Jl-1,Jl-11, Jl-12), the set-resetbistable changes state, which

    enables the voice gates toopen, reiaoves the resetsignals from the counterstages 2 through 5, turnsoff the beat rate divider,and provides a reset pulse tothe first stage of the counterthrough capacitor C4.

    D. DIODE MATRIX - The outputsfrom the counter are decodedand differentiated by adiode/capicitor matri^t toform specific pulse sequences.The diode matrix has 21 outputtracks wlilch are fed to theRhythm Selector Board.

    E, fiHYTHM VOICES - There areeight rhythm voices used inthis rhythm unit. They areBass Drum, Lo\i Conga, HighConga, Claves, Snare Drum,Brush, Cymbal and Maracas.The Brush, Cymbal, Maracas,and the high frequency partof the Snare Drum aregenerated by shaping andformanting the output of avAiite noise source. TheWhite noise is generated bya reverse biased transistor.The outputs of the whitenoice voices are combined andfed to a high frequency pre-amplifier whose output appearson J4 pin 2.

    The remaining voices aregenerated by R-C oscillatorsuhich are turned on by pulseamplifiers that provide thebias current for the oscillators.The outputs of all of the R-Coscillators are mixed togetherand then fed into a low frequencypre-ampllf ier whose outputappears on Ji pin I, The outputsof both pre-amplifiers areconnected to a dual volume

    COMPLETION OF WORK - Afterascertaining that tab Isoperating properly, reattachassociated switch assembly.Be sure that switch contactarms are properly seatedabove and below actuatingedges of tabs.

    Reassemble organ by reversingorder of disassembly.

    4-4 TREMOLO SPEAKER MAINTENANCE

    A. LUBRICATIC^l - Motor androtor shafts should be oiledonce a year. For lubrica-tion it is necessary to re-move the Tremolo unit fromthe console. Hanunondgenerator Oil can be used asa lubricant.

    OT0R (DRUM) SHAFT - Theoutside bearing in the rotorsupport may be lubricated byapplying a few drops of oilto the felt pad around thebearing.

    The Inside bearing may belubricated the same way andis accessible through thethroat of the drum. BECAREFUL NOT TO DRIP OIL OHTHE DRIVE FULLY OR SPEAKERCONE.

    M:>T0R - An oiling hole isprovided in the front plateof the large motor tofacilitate lubrication ofthe front bearing. This

    4-3

  • Is accessible through alarge hole in the rear ofthe Tremolo speaker assembly.

    Lubrication of Che rearbeating o the large motorwill require the removal ofthe small motor and thedrive wheel.

    Lubrication of Che sioallmotor bearings is accompli-shed by applying oil tothe shafts and felt padsat each end of the motor.BE SURE THAT THE PORTION OFTHE TOTOR EHAET THAT MAKESCOWTACT WITH THE DRIVEmiEEL IS FREE OF OIL.

    E. SPEAKER REPLACEMEHT -

    1. Remove the Tremolospeaker assembly fromconso le

    .

    2. Remove back cover byremoving nine flat headwood screws.

    3. Remove acousticalmaterlal-

    4. Remove four screwssecuring speaker to baffle.

    Most routine service opera-tions are outlined on a cardlocated on the unit. Theyare alao reproduced below.

    The belt tension may beadjusted without removingunit from console. For beltreplacement, however^ or formotor lubrication and servic-ing, the unit should be takenout of Che organ console.This may be done quite easily

    by removing the (4) Tpountingscrews i^lch secure the unitIn the console. Removal ofthe unit from the console doesnot necessitate disconnectingthe motor power and speakerleads. Thus the operationof Che unit may be fullyobserved as adjust[aents arebeing made.

    BELT TEHSION ADJUSTMENT -Correct tension or the rocordrive belt Is extremelyImporCant- Excessive slack.will cause slow starting andslow operating speed, whereasexcessive tension will causenoisy operation. A properlyadjusted belt will slip veryslightly when starting, butwill be sufficiently eightto bring the rotor up tofull speed In about 5 seconds.

    To set belt tension, loosenthe adjusting wing-nut whichis readily accessible throughthe back, of the unit. Bymeans of this wing-nut theentire motor assembly may bemoved as required; towardrotor reduces belt tension,away from rotor increasesbelt tension.

    Once the motor is positionedto provide the correct belttension, Che wing-nut shouldbe securely tightened.

    BELT REPLACEMENT - Afterseveral years of normal usagea belt may become frayed orworn, and therefore noisy inits operation. Such a beltshould be replaced, and toaccomplish this the entiretremolo unit should beremoved from the organ console

  • E.

    and placed on the floor, backdown,

    Reioove the two screws holdingthe frooc rotor support asaem-bly. Gragp the rotor withboth hands and pull itstraight up from the body othe unit Co free the pulleyand shaft from the back rotorsupport assembly. The beltcan be slipped off of bothpulleys and pulled fromunder the motor bracket.

    Pass the replacement beltunder Che motor mountingbracket and hook, it over themotoE pulley. Holding therotor by its front supportwith one hand, place belt overthe rotor pulley with the oCherhand. Reinsert che end o therotor shaft into the bearing,taking care that the speakercone is not damaged in theprocess. Position the frontrotor support properly againstthe body of Che unit^ andreplace Che screws which holdIt. Finally, readjust chebelC tension as describedpreviously.

    ADJUSTMENT OF EhtALL MOTOR -

    Remove Che entire Creraolo uniCfrom Che conaole, but keep itin upri^it position wiCh allplugs connected. Make surethe sroall motor's armatureis withdrawn to its "off"position, so that the driveshaft does not touch therubber-tired drive wheel.Check for correct belttension, adjuating asnecessary, according toinstructions given pre-viously. LocaCe the motorpositioning bolt, whichextends from the mounting

    T.

    plate through the motorlaminations, with locknutson both sides of chelaminations-

    Loosen the inside locknut

    .

    Then, with Che small motoroperating (slow speedtremolo ON) tighten theoutside locknuc until themotor shaft no longertouches the rubber-tireddriue wheel. Next, whileholding Che rotor so chatit cannot turn, loosen theoutside locknut until motorshaft engages drive wheeljust enough to turn therotor drive pulley underChe belt. (Too much press-ure on Che drive wheel willcause excessive wear on chetire). When this opcimumadjustuienC has beenattained, it should besecured by tightening theinside locknuc. Make surealso chat any oil and dirthave been removed from themocor shaft and from the rubberClre.

    RUBBER (NEOPRENE) TIREREPLACEMENT - Remove thecoroplece unit from Che con-sole and place it on thefloor with back down.Detach the small motor andits mounting plate (iC isheld in place by four screws)so Chac che drive wheel willbe fully accessible. Re-place the tire on the wheel,caking care chat it is nottwisted, but it is properlyseated tn the wheel's out-side groove. The moldingseam on Che tire should beChe poinC of conCacC with chesmall mocor drive shaft.

    4-5

  • After makitig sure that thetire and wheel are free ofoil and dirt, the motorassembly should be replacedand the drive tension shouldbe readjusted according tothe previous inacruccions.

    4-5 RAISING ORGAU ON DEEP FILECARPETING - From time totime ue are inforined thatpedal keyboard operation isimpaired because of deeppile carpeting.

    This can be overcome byapplying a spacer scrip

    of the dimensions shown inFigure A-6, to the bottomof the console at each end.The strip nay be stained toapproximate the organ fin-ish. If stain is applied^a sealer such as shellacor varnish must be appliedto the strip to protectthe carpeting.
