In the Flash gallery below, we will feature an occasionally changing collection of photographs detailing our restoration process.
As you will soon see, we tear em down to the frame to work our magic. Replacing old and worn parts, rebuilding the electronics and scanner, recalibrating the generator, and restoring the keyboard action to like new condition using original Factory Data.

We (siblings) have an A-1000(?) Hammond Organ circa 1962-1969. It has: 2 rows of keys; 1 row of slide stops; reversed color keys on left that control type of sound (both rows); on right side are 6-8 2×2 brown control keys (purpose?), 3-octave foot pedals; volume control foot pedal with hidden speakers on both sides; nice bench; music stand; locking top cover; maple finish.
Ours is possibly similar to the one in your image sample show. We need a repair company in East Tennessee who could work on it and possibly give a value on it. Mother died last year and none of us want it. It’s big! All tubes! Has a great sound but probably needs cleaning.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Janet

Sounds like a D100 – the brown tablets on the right are for the Pedal Solo voices. Best thing to do to find a tech is to go to http://www.mitatechs.org and search there for a member in your area.

Any of a large number of things could be wrong. Time for a tech. Many parts are still available – unless something really catastrophic has happened it should be able to be brought back to life.

Have a look at http://www.mitatechs.org – it’s an association of musical instrument, and therefore organ, technicians. You should be able to search the membership for your state and turn up members in your area.
