I have a Kimball Organ rhythm unit from a 600/700 series (late 60's
early 70's vintage). The organ it came from had a service manual for all
circuits, but the rhythm machine. The organ used weird, unmarked Ge
transistors mixed in with some Si units. The rhythm generator is mostly
2SB175's. Lots of bobbin inductors. I like the unit as-is, but I'd like
to know what's what. I'm curious about the circuits making the
percussion sounds. I'd also like to be able to trigger each sound
externally and perhaps modify the preset rhythms (the ones I don't like.
I'm making a box to hold the power supply, Ge power amp and reverb unit
and the rhythm unit all in one box. The organ speaker is going into a
large speaker box from an old RCA console stereo.
