I never thought about the internals of this organ Thankyou ! I have the exact same model and everything on it works . I will bet you that only a handful of people if even that would know the first things on how to repair /Tune up this organ. Great video !
Thanks for your time consuming work. I actually have one sittin in my living room. Been wondering what if i disassemble the entire things apart. But thanks to you, i dont have to. I will just keep it intact as a vintage display.
These old Baldwins are nearly impossible to fix. On top of the insane amount of electrical components and wires, many of the IC's are custom ASICs, and the switches for the keys is a proprietary sliding design, kind of like a short volume slider with a return spring, that are impossible to take apart and clean, and when they go bad there are no equivalent replacements. It's a shame because Baldwins actually have a nice and unique sound, but most are going to end up binned. It's why you see so many more Hammonds because they are far more repairable.
I did this sad work in 2002 on a farfisa jacqueline in my school. I still have most of those boards and sometimes use them for repairing other organs, string machines or synths from that time. One day I will use the Leslie unit for a project. Greetings from Germany!🇩🇪🤝
I just saw a 1950s film, beautifully demonstrating one of these. I'm not a fan of organs, but it's fascinating learning about them. It's great to know that there's more than the overrated, Hammond/Leslie stuff out there.
It was REALLY hard getting to the point of having two dismantling our Organ. It had a ground fault problem for years. Every time you turn it on you’d get a shock on your wrist. We added the wooden music holder to our new keyboard to mix in some of the old with a new. 👍
Strange comments about sad emotions; I look at these boards and they’re very well done probably right here in America by some folks who may still be alive, hard-working, intelligent people. The engineers that put these things together or another level of intelligent.
It did sound good, it was just transferring electrical current to the frame so when you touched your wrist it would give you a lite shock. I looked for a long time trying to find this electrical shorts eventually I just had to give up on it, hard decision👍
I just bought a perfect condition one of these for $50! I'm so glad I don't have to do any repairs on it, looks like a nightmare for someone like me, haha

For someone out there owning one of these vintage electric organs will forever remain a dream..

As complex as that was for a solid-state organ, imagine what it was like to work on a tube organ. (I don't have to imagine, I used to repair organs.)
Beautiful.
6:51 Imagine what it took to put it together... I'm going to watch this in reverse. Maybe I'll stop crying.

I just wished you'd played it a before you pulled it apart! Did it sound good anyway? :)

I saw one of these on sale without the bench for $100. Seems to work well. Is it worth the price? Is it better to buy something else?
Test to see if you're a BOSS LEVEL techie.
NOW..put it together like new😊
Ironically people that put this together don't know how to use a smart phone 😂
very sad
No wonder they weigh a ton.
