D# is an octave too high across the keyboard. Elka

[franticlight]

Elka Panther 300
90% of the times the d# is an octave too high.
I have taken out the D# sharp card and cleaned the contacts.
What could solve this problem?

Also, has anyone made a volume pedal for these organs?
They take the 3 hole input and i don't know if you can find those anymore.

Thanks in advance.

I have an A# card that does the same thing, I had a tech work on it and he replaced the 2 middle transistors on the card, he sprayed them with freon and they came back for awhile, well after about a week the A# started doing the same thing with the new transistors. I have since found a parts 300 and replaced the A# with the card from that organ. I am getting the electrolytic capacitors replaced on some of my spare cards and I will see if that is what is causing the problem. As far as the 3 pin DIN plugs they are still available, I think ALL Electronics still has some, I have 3 cables already made up if you would want to buy one.

The original swell pedal for the Panther 300 is similar to the one for the Farfisa Compact. I have seen quite a few on ebay but the Farfisa pedal has a 12 volt light bulb in it, the panther's pedal uses a 6 volt 50 milliamp bulb that is hard to find. I haven't tried the farfisa pedal with my 300 yet but I think it would work with a 6 volt 50ma bulb put in it.

I don't know if you fixed your D# problem yet but I finally got my A# back with all the electrolytic capacitors replaced, it works great now but it sometimes went a week before it acted up, I will post a reply back in a couple weeks or sooner if it still acts up.
