Blow Dryer Method - Hammond C series

[nurseeroc]

Hello all.

I just wanted to add a little tid bit to the conversation on Hammonds.  I have found through some digging of my own, that it was recommended to take a hair dryer to the tone generator to loosen up and emulsify any oils that may have gotten coagulated inside the tone generator.  

THIS WORKED!  I have a Hammond CV organ, (which I recently have put on the market), and I was able to get that grinding generator sound to go away after weeks and weeks of trials.  

I believe the problem was that the oiling funnels themselves were gummed up, and the oil I was putting in to the funnels was not reaching the tone generator.  

So try this if you are having trouble!  Ttyl,
