Need repair advice

Need repair advice

2003-09-21 by Judy Morgan

Hi everyone,

I just purchased a Baldwin Orgasonic 71L organ that makes a loud 
humming sound and I'm now looking for someone who can help me 
diagnose and fix the problem.  If anyone in this group can help, I 
would greatly appreciate it, as I know very little about electric 
organs.  Thank you for your time :-)

Thanks in advance,
Judy

Where do you live? It may be a shorted tube or open filter condenser causing
the hum. Try looking at the membership list at www.mitatechs.com and find a
certified technician near you.

Thanks Keith,
I'm in Phoenix, AZ, and ;I did find one technician listed online. I'm also going to order a service manual so I can at least learn a little about what makes it work, since I didn't get an owner's manual with it. The organ's bottom row of keys hardly make any noise--the lower keys not at all, the top row can sort of be heard over the humming sound, and some of them sound out of tune. I took the back off of it this morning just to see what was inside....looks more complex than my British Sterling car! So guess I won't be able to do an easy quick fix ;myself since I didn't see anything 'obvious' that was wrong, i.e. broken or dangling. Thanks again for your advice.
