Hello Ronnie,

The cause here can originate from many places.... First, diconnect all channels from the organ, one at a time (don't forget to turn the organ OFF every time!)...if the problem persist, try this one: open the connectors from your leslie cable and other channels...might be a short there....

Also: none of the amps power cord should be grounded; only one grounding point on these analogs: the console power cord.

Remember: don't try to connect or disconnect any cable without turning the organ OFF!

Jean Moquin,

Montréal, Qc, area

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,
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, Kenneth -
Thanks for your reply. I will stop by a Radio Shack on my way home tonight and try the cleaning suggestions.
The static starts as soon as I turn the organ on. Or, as soon as it "warms up" or whatever - within a couple seconds of turning it on. Nothing I do (expression shoe, changing voicing, jumping around, etc.) has any effect on the static. It has a mind of it's own. It has slowly worsened over time, in that on occasion in the past, I have turned on the organ and there was some static. But when I turned it off, let it sit a minute, and turned it back on again, it was gone. Not so anymore. And it is really deafening now.
Another malady I have noticed recently (before the static thing became constant last week and the organ became pretty much unplayable) which may or may not be related is that after I have been playing for a while (1/2 hour perhaps?), sometimes everything dies - softer and softer and softer and then nothing. I turn off, then on again, and everything is fine indefinitely.
I'll let you know the results of the cleaning.
~Ronnie

Is the Leslie your only channel? Do other channels have the same problem? It sounds like it could be an amp or a preamp.
I have a Rodgers 340 and a Deseret 115 but I am not familiar with the 110 layout.


A friend has a Rodgers 36E. He has had problems with static and fading which was caused by the output pots before the amps. Mostly this was caused by dirt in the pots. I was able to tear them down and clean them. Not recommended for the faint of heart.

Um, well, the Leslie is the only thing I have hooked up... I'm not sure about channels... how would I check?

The dirt-in-the-pots diagnosis sounds rather promising. If the cleaning doesn't work, I'd like to try that, if you could possibly give me step-by-step directions. I'll keep you posted.

Okay, well, I cleaned a bunch of stuff where the organ connects to the
Leslie and to power and hooked everything back up and there is no change. :( So,
if anyone is willing to give me step-by-step directions on how to clean the
pots, I'm totally game. I even took photos of the amplifier and posted them on
shutterfly.com incase that will give you an idea of the innards of my
particular organ.

<div>Hi, Kenneth -</div>


<div>Thanks for your reply. I will stop by a Radio Shack on my way home tonight and try the cleaning suggestions.</div>



<div>The static starts as soon as I turn the organ on. Or, as soon as it "warms up" or whatever - within a couple seconds of turning it on. Nothing I do (expression shoe, changing voicing, jumping around, etc.) has any effect on the static. It has a mind of it's own. It has slowly worsened over time, in that on occasion in the past, I have turned on the organ and there was some static. But when I turned it off, let it sit a minute, and turned it back on again, it was gone. Not so anymore. And it is really deafening now.</div>



<div>Another malady I have noticed recently (before the static thing became constant last week and the organ became pretty much unplayable) which may or may not be related is that after I have been playing for a while (1/2 hour perhaps?), sometimes everything dies - softer and softer and softer and then nothing. I turn off, then on again, and everything is fine indefinitely.</div>



<div>I'll let you know the results of the cleaning.</div>

You haven't mentioned power supply voltages. If you have a meter how
do they look. My guess would be that you have components giving out.
Whether it is one or more capacitors or the power transistors, you
will not be able to find out without a meter.

Um, well, the Leslie is the only thing I have hooked up... I'm not
sure about channels... how would I check?

The dirt-in-the-pots diagnosis sounds rather promising. If the
cleaning doesn't work, I'd like to try that, if you could possibly
give me step-by-step directions. I'll keep you posted.

Is the Leslie your only channel?  Do other channels have the same
problem?  It sounds like it could be an amp or a preamp.

I have a Rodgers 340 and a Deseret 115 but I am not familiar with
the 110 layout.

A friend has a Rodgers 36E.  He has had problems with static and
fading which was caused by the output pots before the amps.  Mostly
this was caused by dirt in the pots.  I was able to tear them down
and clean them.  Not recommended for the faint of heart.

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?

Do you have a voltmeter...perhaps even a cheapy digital with which to measure the power supply voltages? Perhaps a sagging voltage, either 12+ or 12- or maybe even the 30+ or - could cause these problems. I know the Cambridge 220 is a whole different beast, but when one of the volatges in my power supply went bad, it sounded like a jet engine at full volume. Just a thought.
