The Hammond
organ tone generator magnets were all calibrated manually with the help
of a little wrench by the employees at the factory. For productivity
and economic reasons they had to calibrate the tone generator in fairly
and reasonable amount of time. “I used the Tone Generator wrench to

Therefore, you might experiment some inconsistent output levels or
volume between adjacent tone generator notes. This means that some
notes will be louder or weaker than the other tone
generator notes.
The second factor is the speaker selection especially the treble driver
and the Leslie plastic horn style selection. We've discovered that the
resonance of some tone generator notes into the Leslie treble section
might be enhanced or reduced thus making a very inconsistent and
undesirable organ sound.
In fact, some notes will be way too loud and some other will be a lot
weaker than they should be, giving you an unpleasant resulting organ
sound.
Obviously we always make sure that this effect is not created by a poor
tone generator filtering or dirty contacts. But our experience in
restoring and rebuilding Hammonds and Leslies brought us to take the
tone generator magnet readjustments into account to void the negative
effect of some tone generator notes resonance into the
system.
The hex head fits in snugly with the hex head screws and the
comfortable thick handle allows for more delicate control when
carefully tightening the hex head screws.”
Considering that there are ninety one pickup magnet rods on the TG,
having this wrench which fits in snugly with the hex head
screws help to save a lot of time when recalibrating the whole TG.
The
snug fit also helps to minimise the chance of wearing out the hex heads
of the fragile screws which are made of a soft metal alloy. I wish that
I had a wrench like this the previous times that I
recalibrated a TG."
We feel that this last step is crucial in getting a perfectly sounding
Hammond and Leslie duo.
In all organs and Leslies that we worked on we saw the same effect
taking place. At first we didn't had any wrench to perform our work so
we went in the local hardware store to try to find a little tool that
would work to readjust the faulty magnets or tone generator notes.
We found some tools but it really shows that they were not made for
that purpose because the hex head was not exactly the right size. It
was then harmful for the small nut plus the lever was not made as a
L-shape.
That's the reason why we had to develop a little special wrench that
had the perfect size head and the perfect L shape with the proper
handle length as well.
After some trial and error tests we finally came up with a perfect tool
that works like a charm when it is time to "Blueprint" and fine tune a
Hammond tone generator.
We also explain the technique and knowledge required to re-calibrate
your generator in the eBook called:

& Restoration Tips For NON Technicians available

Many Hammond specialists that I spoke with don't even care about this
crucial step. Some others are doing it for their client but they will
hurt your wallet in a bad way.

Hammond Tone Generator Adjustment Wrench :
Only $27.95
Quantity
This
package contents one regular neck length and one 3/8" shorter.
Reason #1:
Since these wrenches are not ratchet it means that
the first wrench might reach a point where there is not much leverage
anymore. When this happens the use of a second wrench will be useful to restore the
full leverage that you need to continue the adjustment procedures.
In
fact, each wrench are unique and the hex head position in relation with
the handle is different from one tool to the other. That's why a second
wrench will provide extra leverage.
Of course the use of one wrench is excellent because it will prevent from damaging the little lock nuts but using two is even better. I personally work with two wrenches when making adjustment to get the full benefits!
