Re: [Electone Talk] Help on Electone FS30

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, hopefully still can.  Some poor soul at www.Yamaha.ca hand copied a FS-70 manual for me, and they only charged $20.  After you have this, you can trace the signal through with a scope and see where the signal is stopping. 
 
It is easy of course to check if it is the expression pedal variable resistor by measuring it with a multimeter on ohms, with the organ turned off.
 
It sounds like something in the amplifier chain, hopefully the expression pedal, and this stuff is repairable.  It could be the power supply to the amplifier is down.  The thing you describe with the capacitors and transformer sounds like a power supply.
 
Good luck,
Bill

It was 30 years ago, so I can’t remember a lot of the details but I think there is a resistor at the point where the expression pedal mechanism slots into the cabling assembly on the right hand side of the pedal.

Hi Addam,

Many thanks for your reply. What problems did your expression pedal cause? What resistor are you talking about?

Thank You,

Skippy
