I could not resist buying this. A heavy Hammond Organ. It appears to be
from the early 70's. A local second hand store had it for $5 marked
(AS-IS). The wooden cabinet is near perfect. But there is no plug on the
cord, so they could not test it (and they dont do any repairs).

I was hoping it had tube electronics, but it appears to be solid state,
meaning that if there are circuit problems, I probably wont be able to
fix it, since I only work with tubes. But I already know the speakers in
these organs are worth a lot more than $5, and I can see making
something from the wooden cabinet.

This is likely one of the most complex pieces of electronics I ever will
attempt to fix. Then again, for all I know, it may work once I put a
plug on the cord.... (It looks like the plug was torn off when they
moved it).

Either way, I know I got my $5 worth of parts at the least...

This thing is heavy, heavy, heavy.... The workers at the store were all
women and did not want to help load it. And I have physical problems
which limit me. So I still need to get some guys to help me with it next
week. I just paid for it and they have my name on it, marked SOLD.

Before I left, I wrote down the model #.

I am NOT finding any schematic online. If any of you know where to find
one, it's a model # 227214. Appears to be called a "Aurora Custom 1
(AV28)" (from what I could find online).

I am no organist, but if I can get this thing working, I know I'll have
fun with it....
