HOW TO REPLACE BATTERY IN HAMMOND XK-3C ORGAN?

Lack of use, like an old car battery, takes its toll on the components.
Time for service by a competant Hammond repair centre.

Hello Linda Crum,

Notwithstanding for my GREAT admiration for AURORAs
(et al)... Like Colorado

That does NOT seem to be the way HAMMOND
Models are listed.. "AURORA" does not work...!!

I am posting a page from MANUALSLIB...

which give a physical description of
SEVERAL HAMMOND organ models...
.Hammond RT 3 Owner Playing Manual Page 7

Please see their PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION...
and look for your model in this HAMMOND manual.

Did you follow the instructions from the manual? If yes, at what point did this process fail?

Switch off the power of the XK-1.
2. Hold the [REC/JUMP] Button, and switch on the power.
3. Continue to hold down / Keep pressing the [REC/JUMP] Button until "Loading Default..."
appears on the Display.
4. After 5 seconds if everything is in order, PLAY Mode appears on the Display. (Completed)

You might try the ORGANFORUM.com as there are a lot of organ players there and quite a few with Hammonds. Finding an original copy is probably out of the question, but a duplication probably can be found.

Ooften there is a setting for the pitch. Set it to A at 440 Hz which is usual standard. HOWEVER make sure it is really a pitch difference as the ear can be fooled by the "hammond" type sounds.

If you haven't yet, try

Lubricate with OFFICIAL Hammond oil immediately! Then let sit for a couple weeks. Manually turn the generator and add lube as needed until free. If bearings still sticky, put a bit of CRC226 on them individually and free them, then lube with the hammond oil via the wicks.
CRC226 is available at Home Depot in electrical dept.

Also, go to the organforum.com for additional help.

Here is a site selling manual. I haven't done business with them so don't know how they are.
