Re: How to repair a pedal contact assembly?
|
I am in Binghamton, NY. I have had mine since 1968. It has only been in 2 houses, my parents and mine. Decided to resurrect my musical career whcih consists of playing in my home only. It's been many years, probably 12/15 since I have played the X77. I also have a Lowery and 2 small versions( Yamahas). Have cleaned most of the contacts but still have a very annoys high pitch coming from the Leslie speaker(X77L) Can't come up with a fix to rid the speaker of the noise. It increase in loudness as the swell pedal is increased. I also have an external AutoVari 64 rhythm box which is hooked up to the reverb unit and works off the reverb tab. Have totally unplugged the Autovari and still have the high pitch. Any ideas???? Then, I have the 16' pedal not working, well working at a very low volume. Haven't tackled that yet. So much to do and so little knowledge to do it.. Hoping for a stumbled upon solution after reading many forums, so far to no avail.? Keep in touch. Gail... yes that is my name. I'm 6'3" 240 lbs, retired Physical Education teacher/Coach. Taught and coached for 34 yrs.

Haven't dove into my X77 yet so don't know what I'll find. The high pitch noise coming out of my? X77L Leslie has me climbing up a wall right now.

Hi,
so I've got two identical pedal contact assemblies from a Concorde and a Monarch. Both are missing two of these triangular, white pushrods that protrude out of the upper side and act as the links between the pedal actuators and the contacts inside the steel box. Presently, both contact assemblies have 23 of those rods (I hope you see what I mean) instead of 25.
At the first step I intend to open both assemblies and swap two rods from one to the other one. Next would be cloning those rods by 3D printing or the like. Perhaps they might have fallen into the boxes?
Anyway, I see no possibility to get access to the inside of these steel boxes. There are no screws or the like. May someone wiser than me help me, please?
Best regards!
