You'll find the guy's link on my sounddoctorin.com page (global synth 
link, then hammond in the mfg. list) and let me know if it needs 
updating of course.  I got service docs from him.  I have several of 
these btw if anyone is interested in working one over.  They really 
sound cool I can tell even though I haven't had time to totally finish 
mine.  I got buried in work the past bit here. -bob
