I did give a fresh update a few days ago....hmmmm   Perhaps it  didn't go 
through:


[Up and running, y'all.  It was  so dry for so long that the starter motor 
was frozen.  Keeping an eye  (ear?) on her for awhile while the oil seeps 
in.  But the tech (Tyler at  Boss Organ in Somerville) got it all taken care 
of in about an hour.  The  leslie needed some minor adjustments.  The only 
casualty; vibrato scanner  is also frozen and will need a rebuild.  Not too 
bad.  When all is  said and done, I'll have dropped about $400 for servicing 
and mods.  It  sounds amazing....can't say enough about that.  Now to see how 
it  tracks......]



So that was last Thursday.  I  have sessions booked Friday and next week 
for it.  Been messing with  it...We still need to install the hand switch and 
the leslie stop function  (three position switch).  Currently it has a two 
position footswitch  (fast/slow).  I was actually somewhat taken aback by the 
leslie's  quickness in speed change.  Very responsive.  He also added a 
sweet  1/4" output with a trim pot.  I am so in love with this thing....my  
mellotron is a bit jealous at the moment.


Cheers!

It's all very  exciting.  I'm pretty sure my "gear luck" is run dry and will 
take some  time to recharge, no doubt.
