[sdiy] Viscount C120 Organ

[Michael Buchstaller]

Hello Group,

i recently acquired a Viscount C120 organ for cheap. My primary
intention was to use the two keyboards for my polysynth and trash the
rest.
But when it arrived, i decided to play with it for a short time, and it
did not sound too bad, away from some scraping noises from inside.
I opened it up, and it was a cable that touched the belt from the moto that
drives the leslie. Some other cables needed re-soldering; and the
keyboard contacts are nearly black and must be cleaned - sounds like
a good job for a slave...

But, i can get only the top manual to make sounds. The second, bottom
keyboard does only sporadically sound. Even if it does, the tones are
thin and nearly useless.
There is a reverb tank inside the orgen, but it does not work.

Can anybody direct me to a place where i could find the schematics for it ?
It is built in 1972 (so tells the inspection sticker inside), and the viscount
web page does not even mention it.
