Hi again !

Still awaiting delivery of my Mag C2 organ (hopefully later today, if I'm lucky !)

In the meantime, here are some pictures of my new Leslie switch, shoe-horned into a tiny ABS plastic box :

Hi!
Is this switch good for HX 3.5 too?
Because I soldered the wires as it was explained but it is not working.
Many thanks!

The function and switch jack is at HX 3 always the same.
This was never changed !! So it must work

The original Switch in a halfmoon unit for original Lesie will not work
becaus ther is another switch mounted with only 1 x UM contacts

You need a 2 x UM switch with 3 positions when the fuunction Stop has to be realized.
If only fast - slow only two positions are needed

Thank you!

I use the cheapest 3 way guitar switch which costs me 5 Euro
I also don´t use the original Halfmoon case because I haven´t one.
I mounted direct in my HX 3 organ at left side panel lower manual

If chaotish results when switching You have made
wrong connection.
Use a resistance meter to control which pin has which function.
When resistance zero the contact is closed.
Mark them or write it down on paper before installing and connecting it to jack.

At my switch You can see the interior through pcb board so ist was easy to verify the
pins and their function.

Hi,

is there a way to make a Hammond CU-1 work with the HX3, and what must be done/modified for this?

Hi, this is still an open question for which I am looking to get an answer, anybody who managed to have a Hammond CU-1 working with the HX3, and which modifications are needed, if any?

Hi everyone!

Last year could not make a rotary control switch, probably to much soldering ruined my switch and gave up and I programmed the modwheel to do the slow-fast change ....But I'll try again...so please check the 3 way switch photo attached and let me know if it will do the job.

If the answer is yes, tell me where to solder the ground, ring and tip of the TRS jack.

If the answer is no, what kind of switch do you recommend?


Many thanks!
