  • who fixes aroura 8222 hammond organs? thanks james flananov 9102330430

  • @Hamaround Nah, I liked the tone at the beginning - I mean the tone around 2:35 on the L-100 segment!!! I just relistened to that part to find the time...and yea, still painful. BTW - I am actually on my way to pick up a pristine M3 in about an hour!!!

  • @DaveGK143 - Your right unless it's a tone wheel Hammond and one that people want it's not worth much. I moved from Ohio to Texas and ran an add to give away a Kimball Model 600 Organ - I didn't get one response and ended up putting it in the trash. It was kind of fun watching them crush it in the garbage truck.

  • @Hamaround

    Thanks for your prompt and complete reply. We are considering disposing of it one way or another since no one in our household plays it and it needs a little work done anyway. Doesn't sound to me like there would be much demand for it and the repair costs could be more than it is worth. Don't know about antique value.

  • @stratbasher

    Yep fun and easy to play - That's what they were going for - Add a lower price and a year of free lessons and they sold like hot cakes.

  • @stratbasher -

    Hammond wanted to compete with the other organs being sold in Malls around the country and they did it by building lower priced organs, with many bells and whistles, that would appeal to the general public using Hammond’s reputation. Sadly, it tarnished their reputation and they most likely should have stuck to building high quality instruments for professional musicians.

  • @oscar1363 Thanks so much it was fun putting together

  • @DaveGK143 - Here is most likely more than you wanted to know. In 1965, Hammond purchased the Everett Organ Company. The K100 series was basically an Everett design with the Hammond name. Below are the specifications.

    K-143 Early American Cherry

    Manufactured Years: June 65 to Dec 66

    Price: $970.00

    Tone Generators: Transistor Solid State

    Amplifier Output: 25 Watts E.I.A.

    Dimensions: 45 ½” Wide 25” Deep 44 ½” High with Music Rack

    Weight: 200 Lbs

  • I have a Hammond K-143 that belonged to my mother-in-law. Can you tell me the approximate year it was manufactured.

  • @ctpctp - LOL! If you are referring to the intro music on this video it was created on an M-103 by frogforfun hear the complete un-cut version at: frongforfun
