Ronnie,
One quick and dirty thing you might try is to get some contact
cleaner (radio shack). Disconnect the power from the wall. Remove the
Leslie cable from the back of the organ and spray the plug and socket. Plug
and remove the leslie cable a couple of times. Do the same thing on the
Leslie end of the cable. Give it a little time to dry and then see how it
works.
Another possibility is the volume control on the Leslie. Mark
its location on the chassis then moves it back and forth a few times and see
if that helps. From that point, we would need to get inside the organ and
see if the pots for the output are dirty.
Question, does the static noise start when you turn the organ on
and continues until you turn it off or do you have to do something to make
it happen, like move the expression shoe, certain voices have to be used, or
some other thing need to happen? Did this just start happening or has it
done this over time?

Hi. I'm new to this "free lists" thing and I don't know what all the
protocols are or if I'm even on the right list, so if I'm barking up the
wrong tree, please redirect me...
Here's the story: I have a Rodgers 110. It's hooked up to a Leslie. It
sounds like the scratchiest old record player you ever heard. Sometimes it
almost goes away for a few seconds, but then it comes back. I had a Leslie
guy come out, b/c I thought it was that, but no - the Leslie is quiet as a
mouse. So, something's wrong with the organ. The closest repair folks are
1.5 hours away and it will cost me $400 to have them just come down and
scratch their chins, so I'm hoping someone out there might be able to help
me at least diagnose what's going on here, step-by-step. So far I've lifted
the lid and checked the fuse. No problems there. Any more ideas? Please
help. I'm desperate. HUUUUUGE audition on the 12th.
Thanks...
~Ronnie
