"I have decided to take this organ apart. It is inferior to pretty much everything else I have - except for the smaller Elgam Ringo I presented about a month ago.
But instead of just using a sledgehammer I will take it apart gently so I can use some of the parts for other things and at the same time try to analyse why the Elka Preludio 22L is so much better even though the two organs are quite similar in apearance and age.
The music is played on this Elgam Grand Gala while the rhythm is from an Elgam Match 7C analog drum machine. The melody is called "Du ta'r det for givet" in Danish but think it is an American or English song. Does anybody know the original title?"

Excellent autopsy! I used to repair organs and keyboards - the amount of wiring that went into some of the older ones was impressive - LOTS of failure points! Another common failure I saw lots of was very thin circuit boards that could easily flex and crack traces anytime the unit was moved.
ReplyDeleteElka Capriccio 33L had 4 ranks of organ voices plus a piano section. In total that was 121 wires connected to the upper keyboard. The lower had only one rank - 44 wires - but a very complicated contact system for the automatic orchestra section.
ReplyDeleteDo you have capriccio 33l circuit diagrams??
