However, it has a couple of known faults.
1: In the Rotary ‘On’ position one note is low level and lacks sustain, this depends on which drawbar is used. With Rotary ‘Off’ all works fine.2: Some of the very top notes using the 1′ drawbar are not sounding properly. My thoughts on this are it’s Rotary ‘On’ specific. Having spoken to a Service Manager at Viscount he thought it could be a generator issue (or chip?) and was seeing if a service manual could be obtained ….3: The stereo outputs and headphone output appear to be mono. I would have expected the Rotary horns to move from left to right ….In reality this isn’t an issue as the use of a Leslie or clone is far better than any onboard rotary.
All other functions appear to be fully working.
