T222 distortion



Greetings fellow Hammond people,

In the course of restoring my T222, a minor problem still remains.  There is
some noticeable distortion in higher frequencies when played on either
manual.  The distortion occurs only when more than one key is played near
the upper end of either manual (typically anything from beyond C above
middle C)  This is only noticeable if an interval or chord is played.  This
does not occur if only a single note is played.  I have seen discussion here
about a "crosstalk" phenomenon.  Is that what I'm hearing or do I have an
honest to goodness problem here?  This distortion is very noticeable with a
string or flute drawbar registration (predominately higher frequencies).

Before I drug this thing home I had absolutely no familiarity with the guts
of a Hammond (not that I know much more now).  Is there anybody out there
who could point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Jim Zimmerman
