Buying / ITALIAN Vox Continental Leg Braces
February 17, 2020, 05:55:02 PM
When I purchased my Vox it had came with reproduction leg braces. Not sure what happened to the originals because the leg chrome is in very good condition. I am looking for the Italian leg braces with good chrome so I can make my Continental more original and make it look that too.


Thanks.

         After a while I have finally had a chance to buy a Vox Continental. This one being my first ever that I have had. Everything seems to work good. I am still looking for an amp on the market though. Running a very nice Combo Organ through a Fender 10G guitar amp is kind of embarrassing to say the least. This Continental was luckily a short drive to get because I was able to meet the owner only two hours away from me. I had been looking at the organ on Facebook Market for a short time and was very interested. The price it started out at was $2,000 which was more than my spending range. I was messaging the guy about price and the least he would've gone at the time was $1,800. I had passed on it because it was at Christmas time and I hadn't had the money to spend on it. A few weeks later around January 5th or so, he messaged me saying he would meet kind of in the middle driving wise for $1,600. I said I would get back to him on it and he said that was fine. I will tell a little more about the organ now. It is a 1967 Vox Continental V-301E which is the less desirable for most, but good enough for me organ. It had just been serviced with a very respectable tech, Ray Klos of North Wales, Pennsylvania. It had what looked like to be original legs, pedal, cases, and cover. Obviously having some stuff most certainly repaired and not original though most probably being internal. Yesterday I had made up my mind and had the cash to pick it up. Probably one of the easiest transactions ever made big thanks to Marc. Getting back to playing it I did the every note test about twice with no issues. I have not tuned it but it already seems very in tune. I have only discovered two issues so far. The volume pedal did not sound correct which is possibly due to my amp but I am not too sure. And the middle A# key needs glued on because it can be lifted off. For the questions. I am probably going to needs some pointers from experienced Vox Continental owners. First being maintaining. What should I do to keep this very maintained and good as possible before needing any work? Secondly the issue with the key. I think that they are glued on but not sure. What should I use to reattach the key or possibly glue it back on? Lastly, I have a tight budget for an amp. I want to spend around $200 for an amp that does not need to be anything special just sounds good when playing at home. I will try to attach pictures below.


Thanks,
Vance

Recently acquired some bass pedals for a Gibson G101 or G201. I believe they are the same for both. I have no way of testing if they work. They look to be in fair condition. If interested pm me.

Buying / Buying Gibson G101!
January 06, 2020, 12:45:07 AM
Looking for a working Gibson G101 that wouldn't need repairs due to having to local repair shops and not able to repair organs. I am in the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania area and am will to travel a few hours to pickup if needed. Would prefer to pick up over shipping because of previous experience of when I had my G201 shipped.

Thanks

I recently bought some G101 samples of Dave or "Hammond Dave" from Vintage Keyboard Sounds and he has not gotten back to me for them yet. I had messaged him a year prior to this about them and he said he was still selling them. Does anyone know if he is still active? Possibly even someone who has bought them can send them to me and I can show my proof of purchase.

Thanks and happy new year everyone!

Other Keyboards & Software Synths / New Gibson G201
February 02, 2019, 01:17:42 AM
I finally got my G201 but no volume pedal the shipping ruined the top and vibrated some stuff in the amp out of place but if anyone knows what I should do to get it running and make sound leave a comment.

If you saw my last post you will know I had just purchased my first Gibson G-201 and I lack much knowledge on how to work on/fix combo organs.  I now need instructions on how and what to do to clean the contacts safely. 


Thanks!

Other Keyboards & Software Synths / Gibson G-201
December 03, 2018, 06:25:51 AM
Can someone send pictures of how to tune a Gibson G-201.  I don't know much when it comes to hardware in these combo organs but it would help a lot if someone could show me pictures or direct me on what to do for both manuals.


Thanks!

I am looking for a reasonable condition Gibson G-101 or Kalamazoo K-101.  If anyone has or sees these for sale please comment.  I have a high budget!  Please keep in mind I probably can't pick it up so you we would have to arrange shipping.
Thank you!!
