Hammond / Leslie Vintage Model List

This site lists most of the 'vintage' Hammond & Leslie models, as produced by Hammond before they closed down in 1975. Pick a model from the tree on the left.

The Hammond logo is currently owned by Hammond Suzuki, who produce new digital clones, like the XK3.

If you know of any missed models, or have any details or pictures to offer, contact me.

Note that the model tree (to the left of this text) can take several seconds to load up

Contacts are numbered 1-11 counterclockwise, looking straight at the female end of the cable or the back of your keyboard, presumably. Index mark between pins 1 & 11.

This is the most dangerous one because there are so many different pin assignments there is almost no standard 9 pin connection.

Pins are numbered counter-clockwise, viewing the rear of the male connector. Index mark between pins 1 & 9.

Bias pins 1 and 6 to 70V for slow speed, gnd for fast. This must be done through an R-C network to develop a .5 to 1 second time constant to prevent switching transients from coupling to the input stage of the amplifier. If you do not understand the above statement, consult with a qualified service technician.
