Hammond L-122 & Leslie 770

     
This is my Hammond L-122-1. I never figured how old it was those years I had it, but I believe someplace around mid sixties. It was in nice shape and I used it in a band I played in then. The first organ I had was a Roland VK-1 with a solton Leslie, and compared to that the sound was so good that I actually carried the organ and my leslie everywere I played. Great sound! So I want to say to all who say that a L-100 is no good; it has tonewheel and tube amp, and it sounds like it too!

  Dette er mitt Hammond L-122-1. Jeg fant aldri ut hvor gammelt det var i den tiden jeg hadde det, men jeg tipper en plass midt på 60 tallet. Det var i fin form, og jeg brukte det i et band jeg spilte i den tiden. Det første orgelet jeg hadde var en Roland VK-1 ilag med en Solton "leslie" og sammenliknet med det, er lyden så bra at jeg tok med med orgelet overalt hvor jeg spilte. Nydelig lyd! Så jeg vil si til alle som påstår at L-100 ikke er noe; det har tonehjul og rørforsterker, og det LÅTER slik!

Under, har jeg lagt ved de originale fabrikkdataene for Hammond Model L-100. (tatt fra Hammond FAQ)
