[sdiy] Hammond Vibrato Scanner

[Mike Beauchamp]

I have a hammond vibrato scanner (2 of them actually) in my basement..
actually the whole tone wheel generator assembly out of an H organ.
I'm hanging onto it, hoping to make a stand-alone vibrato unit for
guitar. But I've really had no clue how to go about it..

The scanner that you had rigged up.. were you able to just feed line
level audio through it? did you have to build a pre amp and recovery
amplifier for it, as well as a mixer or something, etc?
