Title link takes you to one more shot. This looks like this 102200 with a white case rather than black. If anyone has more info on these and the original color of the case (just curious), please feel free to comment.

No offense, but to be honest with you, that synth (Hammond, not Hammod) sounds like nothing special, and the playing is terrible, probably the worst I've heard. Maybe you should get someone who can actually play keyboard to demo it? That might give people a better impression. :(
ReplyDeleteI think it had a cheap-o old analog sound ...but like the cheap analog sound. I sort of liked it's dinkyness.
ReplyDeleteI also own one of these synths. They are rare keyboards. I gigged with this synth during the early 80's. The original case color is white. The keyboard came with a Plexiglases music stand that was attached by two thumb screws right above the chrome book rest along the top. Mine was lost many years ago due to the fact that it got in the way while gigging. The keyboard had a very cool sound and the presets were surprisingly realistic for an analog synth. I don't know how I could have made it without this synth during those days. This was before synths had programmable memory banks. All patches could be remembered as a seven digit number. Changing patches between and during songs was very fast. The feature I missed the most was a pitch bend wheel. Sadly, mine no longer works but one day I will return it to working condition. I just don't seem to have the time. Being an electronics technician, I modified my board. I added controls for wider filter cutoff and LFO rate. I came across a website where someone had one of these synths and it was also modified very much like I did mine with the addition of a noise generator. As soon as I saw that, I wished I had thought of that way back then. My 102200 is beat up with years of road use. It held up to some serious punishment. Hammond actually made cases for these synths but due to somebody's error, the cases did not ship with the keyboards as they were supposed to and as a result hammond ended up with a warehouse full of empty cases while the synths shipped without them. My keyboard could definitely have been spared lots of punishment had I had one of those cases.
ReplyDeleteI also got one of these in my attic (as far as I know it still works). Bought it in a second hand shop around 1985 for £20.
ReplyDeleteI'm no expert, but isnt the "wind" control a noise generator?
My G s are out ? any help out there
