Re: Hammond Chord Organ

[GeoFishJr@aol.com]

Hi, Bill.  
I have a Model S Chord Organ that has the octal based tubes. A kind lady in
upstate New York gave it to me, so I had a truck pick it up and bring it to
San Diego.  My mother had one when I was a toddler, and sold it soon after.
 She wanted another one after she saw how attached I was to my B-3. 

These little beasties require tuning.  I hope you have the books that tell
you how to tune the solo generator, chord generator and main oscillators.
 (In fact, I'm looking for them!)  I have the service manual for the S, and
would reciprocate by making a copy of it for you.
