Dear Jerry,
I have a Rodgers 145 Alexandria which has the "time-share keying circuitry."
Have you ever midi-fied a Rodgers with that circuitry? Sound Research says
they can do it by building special circuitry--and I trust Vern Jones
expertise. However, I'm wondering if you have another approach and could
share it. I would love to be able to bring MIDI to this organ. Thanks.
Kevin Sterling

Hi Karen,
I'm not going to comment specifically on what "they" told you.
But, I have "MIDI-fied" many an analog Rodgers and they are extremely easy
to do. I personally like the Syndyne boards. You're welcome to call me on
the phone and we can chat about it if you'd like. Let me know and I'll give
YOU my phone number.
Best regards,
Jerry Akers

Jerry, the schematic came through just fine, and will definitely look into
the after market one you suggested.Thanx a lot! I read with interest the
posts about midifying. I was in contact with Sound research, and they told
me that they didn't make modules for my organ. Is this just true of the 750,
all Rodgers, or are they just giving me wrong information. I believe that
they said it would be extremely complicated because of multiplex keying, or
some such.I have no knowledge of electronics at all.My husband knows the
basics from his Navy training years ago.

Hello Karen,
Do you have somebody that could take the schematic and "stuff" the
compontents into the unloaded board?
If not, I suggest buying an "after market" reversible board. Syndyne makes
one that I would be happy to get for you. They are very straight forward to
install and get working on just about any Rodgers console.
Here is a link to the reversible board:

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Best regards,
Jerry Akers

I have a similar request: does anyone have the schematic for the zimbelstern
that was an option for the 750BE. There is a thumb piston for it which I
assume is an on/off switch. Rodgers does not offer this anymore and
suggested that I call a local Rodgers dealer to see if they could help.I
probably will have to do this anyway.My husband was able to get the volume
at a reasonable level, it is far from perfect and needs a professional's
touch. If the zimbel. has a board, my husband could probably put it
together, but installing it is another matter, with all the talk of keyers
and the like.
Regards and happy playing,
Karen

Greetings to the list,
I have run into a problem. My 340 uses a non-standard board for the Post
Horn. By non-standard I mean it's not the one shown in the service manual.
On this organ they used a ROC2405A board. It has space for (and populated)
73 keyers. The "red Book" modification manual for my organ shows the parts
layout as well as the populating lists but no schematic. If anyone has a
schematic for the "keyer' on that board I would greatly appreciate a copy.
All I need is one of the keyers, I really hate to sit down and draw it from
the board. I have been told that it is the board used for the "Festival
Trumpet" but I have no idea what organ(s) it was used in.
Kindest regards
Frank Evans
