Kustom Kombo II Question... [message #7154] Mon, 10 July 2006 09:21   burkutron Messages: 2 Registered: April 2006 Junior Member Hey Guys, Kool board. I was just wondering how to "crack the lid" on a Kombo II organ. I recently picked one up that needs some work for a price that I couldn't refuse. I spotted it on the sidewalk a few blocks away from my place with a bunch of furniture. I asked the lady at the house about it and right when she started telling me about it I noticed hiding in the pile of furniture a dresser that looked an awful lot like a Leslie 147. She said she was moving and couldn't sell it and was going to have to pay to get it removed. So yeah- I offered to "clean" it off the sidewalk. Anyways... I wanna get the organ going but before I even attempt the project I was wondering if there are any idiosyncratic things I should know about physically opening the case. I read about the original Kombo organ top just flipping up to open but the Kombo II doesn't seem to work that way. Thanks in advance for any help, Steve--- Report message to a moderator

The Leslie itself is an item. I am starting to think that I need just drive neighborhoods all the time I think there is someone locally here that has that organ - I can try and check that out for you - maybe get some info.

You can get the service manual here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=16000 3655891 for $14.04. No need to worry about competition from other bidders - this guy has been listing this manual (it's a photocopy) on eBay for 3 years, and rarely sells any. I think it's also in his eBay Store as a regular item. www.combo-organ.com Report message to a moderator

I did have to wait out a guy who wanted the Leslie and realised I couldn't fit both pieces in my car and would have to make two trips. Now that I think about it, an old boss of mine probably has that manual. His shop used to be authorised by Kustom back in the day. Thanks guys, Steve--- Report message to a moderator
