Vintage Synth Repair

Hello Mark:Being a Hammond repairman I think that for you to have a 
completely dead note I would check out the bakelite wafer that operates the 
contacts under the key to see if it is broken,I think this because Hammonds 
have multiple contacts for each note that go to individual tone generators 
to get the different harmonics,and the only way for a key to be completely 
dead is for all the contacts on the keyswitch to be failing.if this wafer is 
broken it's a major project to replace it.it might be the metal tab on the 
key itself that pushes the contact down is broken or bent,if this is the 
case then it is a minor repair job,if you need a replacement key let me know 
I have hundreds of them.
Good luck,
Tim K.
