Question about power supply for Hammond A 100

I found a pretty good deal for a hammond on marketplace. It doesn’t list what model exactly but looks to be an a-100. Essentially they listed it as non-functional purely because they don’t have a power cable for it. So, I’m planning to buy a power cable for it and go see if the thing works or not.

I’m wondering if there is a specific brand or power supply that I should buy for it or will any power supply that can plug into it work?

Also does the hammond power the leslie via the 6 pin cable or does the leslie need its own power supply?

My high school rock band, "Ouranic Glory", featuring a hammond organ front-and-center on each song. It was acquired from a yard sale at a local Episcopal church. For fans of Rainbow, Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, Ashbury and maybe even a little Greta Van Fleet. This is our debut album. Hope you enjoy.

Crazy find in my local church, help me with some information please

Hello there.

Yesterday I was at my local church and my grandpa told me something about a "big piano" upstairs. I took a look around and found this thing.

We have no clue about how to make it work, it's almost 50+ years since it came from the U.S (we are at La Paz, Bolivia)

Any help would be great, thanks guys

Hammond Piper Organ Autochord

I just picked up this Hammond organ today for free for my son. We brought it home and plugged it in, it turns on and it hums really loudly and you can hear some of the keys but very softly no matter what we do to the volume controls. Any ideas on where to start or to get a takedown manual of the organ so we can tear it apart?

Should I buy an m3 or wait a year or 2 and save up for a b3?

I have the opportunity to snag an m3 for a couple hundred bucks and I’m pretty interested in the thought of owning an authentic tonewheel organ! I have an xk-1 right now paired with a neo ventilator and it’s great but it would be cool to have the real deal.

The main thing that I’m hesitant on is the percussion that comes with a b3 plus the foldover with the upper octaves, both of which the m3 lacks.

Thoughts?

Purists be darned PT. 11-15

An Update:
It’s been a minute, and things have slowed down to more of a chorale, if you will. The drive is still there.
There are now a handful of these units out in the wild, being played by some incredibly talented musicians. Seeing them on stage and hearing the feedback has been both exciting and invaluable.
Lately, the focus hasn’t been on building more units—it’s been on building a better one. I’ve been refining the mechanical design, simplifying assembly, and redesigning portions of the electronics to make the entire package more robust and easier to manufacture.
The next milestone is a Launch Edition of 10 units. The plan is to offer these through Reverb.com, with a current target price of $599.
This revision also adds a full-range pass-through output, making it easy to daisy-chain multiple Robot Speakers, send a signal to a house PA system, or feed a powered subwoofer for additional low-end support.
There’s still plenty to do, but the project continues to move forward. Thanks to everyone who’s followed along, offered ideas, tested prototypes, and encouraged me along the way. More updates soon.

I want to get a distortion pedal but my organ has no effects loop

I have no leslie, it’s an effect built into the organ. How will it sound if i get the distortion pedal as the chain would be organ>leslie>distortion? I’ve heard it’s supposed to go organ>distortion>leslie. Will it sound bad?

Update on the 222122k.

I've done a bit of cleaning because it got worse.. when it'd turn on, in addition to the 'bang', it would sound as if the whole lower keyboard was pressed together, until it fades to only one note (low C) which remains stuck. I've opened it up and all, I don't see where the issue is coming from.

Is anyone familiar with this issue? I really don't intend to get rid of it...

I didn't get many good pictures of it when it was open I'm sorry I can't show the connectors or anything in detail.

Motionsound pro 3x horn not spinning.

Hey all,
I purchased a Motionsound pro 3 x second hand and it worked fine for a day, and then the motor stopped working. The speaker works, it just doesn’t spin. Anyone encountered this before, or have any recommendations? Also, if you’re in the Chicago area, any recommendations for shops to take it to?
