cv.wmv

This is a CV that I recently rebuilt and refinished. This CV was made in 1946, based on date codes of components. All the electronic components in the pre-amp, the caps vibrato line box and on the Tone Generator have been replaced.
It plays thru a Hammond PR-40 Tone Cabinet and a modified Leslie 710. The 710 had a Trek LCO Crossover installed, and the lower Rotosonic speaker was removed and replaced with a drum from a 122.
Additional outlets were added; it has a 5, 6, and 9 pin connector for speakers.
This is for sale as a complete group; if anyone is interested, contact me.

@GREATERLOVEMISSION Since it is good cold, I would suspect possibly tube or tube socket; try wiggling the tubes to see if you can make the noise. Otherwise, bad caps and certain resistors are known to make noise. A resistor can be bad although it measures good; the carbon inside degrades over time. I would recommend rebuilding the CV preamp. Parts are not that expensive; probably around $50.

Location of the Leslie switch is indeed a personal thing, based on the individual style of playing. I just can't help to think that 99% of the players have the switch where it is based on tradition, not useability. Watching people play and having to move your hand a foot or more to switch the Leslie does not make sense to me, but that's just me. I am also a firm believer to do whatever works best for you, but don't be afraid to try something new; you may be pleasantly surprised.

You've certainly put a lot of work into this restoration. I think I remember reading on another page of yours that you put the Leslie switch where you did so it would be easily accessible, but I'm 99% sure that some of the players I work for (I play myself) who play bass on the lower manual would end up hitting the switch by accident while playing. There are many options for Leslie switching--like ones made to fit on the pedal that you actuate by moving your food sideways.
