Help on Electone FS30   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #750 of 811 |
Hi Folks,

I am new to the group. I just purchased a FS30 with a problem. The organ appears
to function correctly but produces a low volume distorted sound only. When I
opened the back I found a blown capacitor mounted on a small vertical board in
the very left bottom corner of the organ in front of a transformer. I replaced
all 3 capacitors on this board but the problem remains. The same distorted sound
comes through headphones as well. If I connect my Leslie 705, the rotor speed
control functions but no sound is coming through the Leslie. It appears to me
that this may be a pre-amp or expression pedal board problem. Any ideas? Your
help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Skippy

Folks, There are so many things that this could be. Dieter, Do you have a service manual? Yamaha Canada used to be able to provide them a few years ago,...
