I rescued a Hammond R-124 from the trash

[TrogL]

It needs a lot of work. I had to pull the tonewheel module and Leslie bin in an attempt to get it light enough so it could be carried down the stairs. It's still so heavy I'm considering pulling the keyboards as well, which may mean pulling ALL the electronics, leaving the bare cabinet plus those few modules that actually have connectors vs soldered on.

Anybody know where I could get a .pdf of the service manual? Google is not my friend.

1. R-124 ??

I am not familiar with a Hammond model by that name, but this person has various manuals for Hammond:

3. The R-124 is from the R-100 series and uses the same manual. The rest of the digits are case style.

That's paper. Many people have scanned the manuals for the more well-known models.

Someone there will probably know where to score a manual.

I've got a Porta-B, an S-6 and a Solovox.
Can never have too many Hammonds!

4. Hammond organs rule...........

I had a Porta-B, M100 and a B-3. Had to sell them when I got sick. Still have my synths, one of them does a real good B-3. Not the same, but close.
