I'm sorry, but I do not recognize that model number and can't find it online. Is there anymore info you can provide to determine what exact organ you have?
Please note that only Hammonds (B-3 C-3 A-100, etc) with a tone wheel generator require oiling.
Depends on the make and model. A all electronic organ with very little mechanical components should be fine. The older Hammond organs do not like to be tilted to far of the vertical. What make do you have?
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.
Try the organforum . com. There are a lot of Hammond people there. The model 700 is the base model and probably enough to get you started.
Also just get a organ music book as a lot of the vernacular is in those. Also check your library for organ books. OFTEN the user manuals aren't much use to learn the instrument.
Most organs will either have tabs or drawbars. These select the type of "voice" and often one selects more than one as a mix. Each keyboard is refered to as a "Manual". Most organs have foot pedals. Each of the manuals and the foot pedals will have a seperate set of tabs associated with them.
To get started, turn on the organ and press the expression pedal which controls the volume... experiment setting a few tabs or drawbars an play notes on the manuals. You will soon learn what controls what.
Note that some models of Hammond organs used rotating tone wheels and those require lubrication. Those that do, usually have a power switch labelled "start" and "Run". These organs are usually higher value and one should have them serviced before using.
