NO WHERE ELSE will you find the love and immense man hours detailing, servicing each and every component of all our Hammonds and Leslies.Service Details for all Hammonds and Leslies   Please note, All of our organs and leslies have the original factory untouched finish! Occasional, we will refinish a bench top of a leslie top. This will be noted on the text of that example. Hammonds:1. Air blow out sequence: Remove back panel on Hammond, all back panels on Leslie. Use high air pressure compressed air. Blow out ever crevice and crack, all keyboards, under the drawbars, in the foot pedal contact area, foot pedals, all felt in the foot pedals, inside guts of the organ cabinet, etc. All insides of the Leslie including motors, horn, amp, and drum.2. Bring Hammond and Leslie into the shop and place on the elevated air operated work rack.4. Raise Keyboards using professional side plates to protect the wood finish.: Replace both upper and lower keyboard felts on each keyboard.THIS IS A MUST DO!All Hammond felts are old and have hardened with age. This make the action very hard feeling on the downstroke and very noisy when released. With fresh new felts, the action is wonderful and tight! Soft to the touch on the downstroke and silent when released, just as when new in the showroom.This is a labor intense job for a qualified technician but is a MUST on every Hammond!  Both keyboards must be raised to perform this task.At this time we also professionally hand polish both black metal Hammond face plates during this procedure.We also lubricate the preset mechanism and vibrato knob mechanism for like new operation. 6. Lubricate the vibrato gear mechanism. 7.  Remove the bottom cover plates to gain access to the vibrato switchs AND the percussion switchs. Air blow out, clean  all contact switches  with professional cleaning solvent.8  Hand clean all drawbars, hand polish drawbar ends. Hand polish black frame drawbars assembly. Clean all contacts on drawbars with the correct contact and lube cleaner.9. Begin cleaning process: Use degerent, scub each key and drawbar. Hand Polish keys and  drawbars with a high speed professional polishing wheel using the correct polishing compounds. We detail until all keys, presets, and drawbars are back to their original factory Ivory and Black beautiful luster. Very time consuming.10. Using fresh Hammond oil, service all oiling areas. Our Hammonds start quickly and run silently, just as they should!11. Inspect wood for knicks, scratches. Clean, if needed, use matching touch up stain to detail.12. Raise organ pre amp and air blow tone pot, percussion pot, apply correct cleaning and lubricating product. Blow out volume discs on expession pedal mechanism. Inspect all components of the pre-amp. Test. This proceedure is a must do to bring up to my high standards.13. Remove all pre-amp tubes and replace with new high-end fresh tubes.14. Modify the volume percussion drop in the percussion circuit,(on factory percussion models), so you have full percussion volume with all drawbars with the percussion engaged. This is a must!15. The only wiring that deteroites on a Hammond from aging is the ac power line from the plug-in socket to the main as terminal board mounted on the tonewheel generator assembly. This is extentension cord material. The rubber covering becomes brittle from age and cracks easy. We replace with new high quality heavier guage wire!16. Pedals: Remove top rear panel on the foot pedals, air blow throughly, adjust all pedal tension springs. Scrub all pedals with detergent. Detail all wood, professionally hand polish black sharp pedals to their original gloss factory black finish. Check and adjust all end pedal springs, replace if needed. Replace rubber end  pedal frame bumpers with new rubber.17. Test all functions on Hammond. Check out each tonewheel on each drawbar, all presets, all functions of the vibrato sections, all functions of the percussion,etc. Correct any problem.
