Subject: [vintagesynthrepair] T400 Organ

Hi new to the group hope someone can help me. I have been given a T400 which
was fully working when picked up I have cleaned all the dust and cobwebs
from the inside and polished up the keys and cabinet before placing in the
house. For some reason i carnt get a sound out of it now. I switch it on it
lights up generator turns leslie motor runs fast and slow the rythme box
light flashes to the beat but not a sound from anything swell pedel moves ok
any idea`s? ( did move out the pedels to fix a spring that had come loose)
Regards Roy(UK)

Hi Glynn I checked the swell pedal bulb all ok and there are no
speaker wire dislodged or any other wires that I can see are not
connected. It still will not speak to me. is there any fuses that may
have blown or the problem is with the amplifier? Im sorry I cleaned
it now realy angry with myself as it was fully working when it was
given to me.

Hi Glynn

Well would you believe it it is now up and running carn`t thank you enough

Glynn. I did all you sugested and still no sound. There is a connection for

extenal leslie screwed on the front below the lower key board for a sharma.

This was the problem the switch had got jambed half way down to organ

setting only by chance with your suggestion I rocked it back and forth and

hey presto. Thanks a million Glynn if I ever meet you I will buy you a drink

Regards

Roy (UK)

Hi Roy ...best idea ive got now is.....take the back off...switch it on ...select a few tabs or drawbars.....put a small weight on one of the manuals to hold a note down....set the swell about half way.......take a pair of INSULATED pliars.or grips and ....gentlywander round the wiring too see what youve disturbed....Dont you know its going to be somthing minor like the lead from the swell to the main amplifier...Be careful and make sure youve got enough tabs and/or drawbars selected.......above all dont despair its gotta something youve unplugged / moved / disturbed....take care around the big capacitors on the Amplifier and the power supply....you can get a nasty crack of them.....its very early modular design evey thing is usually on plugs or multi connecters.............thought????? has this organ ever had an external leslie cabinet fitted/still fitted???...Keep Trying Glynn
