the Hammond organ with the Leslie speaker is amazing! But i know the speaker paper is chewed up and decayed to hell and needs a recone. Here's a video of Marc playing it: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CcCaiMRDEKU/ Where can we find parts for a recone kit? I volunteer Arlo to do the reconing, he did a great job with a giant subwoofer recently. What model speaker is it? Or do we just have to find a reconing company that can send us a custom cone and surround according to measurements we make? maybe Tuesday night we can take measurements, and try to figure out the model number of the speaker. I wouldn't be surprised if we have to re-use the voice coil that's in there now - who knows what weird impedance it is (this is an electromagnetic-stator speaker powered by a tube amp!) and it's probably made with whale-bone PCB lacquer that will outlast anything we can buy, plus there's nothing wrong with it. Thanks to Kent for rebuilding the amplifier the organ is mentioned a couple of times in this Meeting from 2015: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2015-09-02 I created a wiki page for it, please edit and contribute: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Hammond_Organ -jake _______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list -- sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org To unsubscribe send an email to sudo-discuss-leave(a)sudoroom.org More options at https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/
