@@Iceland874 Be really really careful with those legs! I should probably do a follow up video warning about them. I bent the hinges backwards by accident and broke the soldering from the frame. Had to have it soldered back on. And yes, the legs are not always perfectly straight. Mine now wobbles a bit. I’m sporting an 18 lb keyboard and I consider it fairly stable. However, the RD88 may be much too heavy. I’m not sure. Just be careful. I have since learned it is not perfect.

Point well taken, but the internal Leslie sim can get lost in a PA mix on stage. Mic'ing the box improves it a bit more. Thank you for watching.

Thank you so much for the heartfelt compliment. My greatest fear was that I was giving too much information, and that the video was too long. Glad you got valuable information out of it. And yes, as far as I know, the M-series organs have a unique sound that you won't get through the consoles you mentioned. That's why 'Green Onions' never quite sounds right on a B-3. Thank you for watching.

Thank you for the kind words and sharing your wonderful memories. I have made some improvements since the 2021 video you watched. You should see my 2024. The car is in better shape now than it was then. Have a good weekend and thanks for stopping by.

Thank you for watching!

Ok that is probably true- I was just going by Wikipedia. 1966 seems a bit early, but you did say 1968, so that year is plausible. Thanks for watching.

Wow, ok. I’ll have to check it out. Thank you for the heads up.

Ok, I’ll take the bait for the sake of *CONSTRUCTIVE* criticism: How would you have done it differently? Thanks for watching.

SImple, it's a GUITAR SONG, not another scary AF organ song. Geniuses (like Hammond and Leslie) come up with the most frightening and stupid sound shit. Thank God I went against my father's wishes AND DID NOT GET AN ELECTRONICS DEGREE!!! The real world isn't some B-rated, stupid horror movie. See for yourself.

Thank you for your kind words and support. My only regret is that I couldn’t say the same things in fewer minutes, but I tend to take time to explain myself, when there’s many layers of something. Thank you for watching.

Thank you so much for all your kind words. I’m so glad there are other people out there, who appreciate my car as much as I do.

@@B3burner Ok, What is Your Name?

@@jp_ny.rd04 John.

@B3burner Hey! Nice to meet you, John!!!!

@@B3burner I'm Joshua! I was born on September 4, 2007 from NYC!

A white 1973 Coupe DeVille. Thank you for watching.

@@B3burner I'm a new subscriber to this channel!

@@jp_ny.rd04 Thank you very much. I appreciate your support! 😇

@@B3burner No problem!

Thank you so much for letting us know the drummer’s name. I wondered who he was. I love his drum solo before the brass section kicks in.

Sir, those are valid concerns. Didn’t think about flat tires.

I see. Well that’s another way of looking at it. Thanks for watching.

Very good. 92’s are nice as well.

Thank you for the compliment. Your car sounds very nice as well- I can picture it from your description. Enjoy it, as I’m sure it definitely turns heads in your part of the world.

Thank you so much. Your compliment means a lot to me. I’m very lucky to have found it.

Thank you for your support and valuable information regarding the settings on the temperature control. I was 6 in 1973, so I’m just two years younger than you. I fell in love with the neighbor’s 1971 Coupe DeVille when I was 7, so more or less right there with you, as far as enthusiasm for Cadillacs at a young age.

@@B3burner Thanks for the story on how you fell in love with Cadillacs! For ME, it was when my (now late) uncle bought a brand new 1973 Eldorado and drove straight from the showroom to our house. he let me sit in it and play with all the cool features that most cars didn't have back then. That was in the fall of '72 so I was 8 years old. I still have a picture of that car. It was white with gray and black hounds tooth cloth interior. I LOVED to ride in it. I used to think that climate control was the coolest thing! I bought my first Cadillac when I was in college and since then, if I'm counting right, I've had 11 of them. I still have 4. Three are classics and my daily driver is an Escalade. Interestingly, Cadillac was the first auto manufacturer in the U.S. to come out with climate control and it was the year I was born; 1964. Back then, there was a different position on that slider for air conditioning and heat until they developed the technology to where it was combined into one. GM made it available as an added option on the Buck Electra and the Oldsmobile Regency 98 beginning in the early '70's. But the one on the Cadillac was always the best.

Thank you glad you like it. The only thing that might have been cooler is a 2103- which is the wood model. But then again, wood is more likely to show nicks & scratches, so maybe it’s just as well it’s black. Thank you for watching.

@@B3burner Yeah, I love it!

Thank you. Glad you like it and thanks for watching my video.

The thing that rotates like a fan is the Leslie Speaker. It’s what gives the Hammond Organ that tremolo “whoop-whoop-whoop”. Those are speaker horns you see rotating and they throw the sound around the box and outward. The beauty is in hearing the acceleration & deceleration of the horn. One horn is the speaker and the other is a dummy horn for counter-balance.

Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words.

Thank you sir. I’m pretty proud of this accomplishment.

Thank you Keith for your kind words and compliment. That’s great that you have a 73 C Dv as well. I’m curious what color it is, and are you having leaks in similar places? EDIT: Wrong video I’m discussing. In my other vids I make comments about my trunk leaks, not engine fluid leaks.

Thank you for your compliment and thank you for watching my video. Yes, I could go on a long tirade myself about today's cars, and why they can't make cars today like they used to. Unfortunately, there are several players in the mix, that I won't bore you with... I'm sure you know who they are. It's about automobile regulations--- several different agencies that came together to affect change that spelled the end of cars we love.

Thank you for your kind words, and while I'm not glad to hear that your 76 Buick has a trunk leak, I'm relieved to hear that I'm not the only one. I think the problem is more common with the cars that have vinyl tops, than the ones without.

You're absolutely right. I think I have a tendency to constantly think about *where* I'd like the car to be at, as far as completion of tasks, instead of merely appreciating where it currently is *at*.

Thank you for watching and for your kind words.

@B3burner you missed the Galt swap meet, April 7th is the Stockton one 👍🏼

Thank you. This is my first short I created myself.

Thank you for your compliment. Yes, cold is good.

Thank you for watching and your wonderful compliments and comments. From your username, can I presume that you too were born in 1967? I'm 57 and born in Feb 1967. That's cool about the Gulbransen. Maybe one day you can get it running again, if you are able to fix that power supply. And yes, you're right I also dig aviation, and am into flight simulation. The fact that I've put so many videos on TH-cam also implies that I'm into video editing and computers as well. You can't do one exclusively without being into the others, because they're all kind of interconnected. You have a good day, hopefully we'll talk again soon.

Thank you for all the excellent information, regarding the climate control and fan switch on my 1973 Caddy. Maybe that's why it didn't behave as I thought it would. I'll admit some of your information went a little over my head-- especially the part about the electronic climate control-- but having reread your comment a few times, it makes more sense now. You're talking about the newer Cadillacs, and at first I had missed that part. Thanks for your compliments on the upholstery. I like it too. You don't get colored interiors in cars today. Everything is some sort of grayscale. There are a few wear spots that are turning into holes in the fabric, but it's not so bad that I can justify spending the money to replace it. I'd rather keep the stock material as long as I can. Thanks for watching.

Thank you, I appreciate the compliment.

Thank you for the link, the message to subscribe, and your overall support. I appreciate it very much.

Yes I prefer the stock suspension and ride height. In the 2021 video, you’ll see it was a little too low. I insure it as a standard vehicle, so I don’t have driving & mileage restrictions. However as the years go on, I’m rethinking that idea, and am wondering if I should be using classic car insurance- like Haggerty.

Amazing, that tells me that you like to enjoy and drive your CadiLLac. I wish I could see more of these n the road. .@@B3burner

Thank you so much for your kind words.

Thank you sir. I agree, I can’t find another car with that nice design- other than maybe another Cadillac.

haha that's right. Another CadiLLac. My personal favorites are the one on the 1972. Also, all 1972's came with the 472ci. But the 1973 is arguably the most beautiful Coupe DeviLLe. For me, it's hard to compare them, because they're all beautiful. For instance, the front of the 1969 and 1970 DeviLLe/Fleetwood is so gorgeous. I love all American card made in the late 60's ' and entire era of the 70's Huge fan of DONKS. Love the IMPALAS, CAPRICEs AND CAPRICE CLASSICs from 1971 to 1976 Really like the B bodies too, like the Buick Roadmaster oooh man And of course the G bodies@@B3burner

Yes, I do agree. It did seem like the shops gave up awfully easily. And the insurance made it irresistible to have it totaled. I know exact numbers are my personal business, but I'll share them anyway, just to drive my point home. $3,200 was what insurance was offering to try to fix the car. $10,000 was what they were offering to total it out and let me get a replacement car.

@VitaliyKofman There's no doubt I probably could have found parts at a junk yard. The problem was that at that point, I was frustrated, tired of dealing with the whole thing, and (I'm a little ashamed to admit it) LAZY! As much as I pay for insurance, I didn't feel I should have to do my own leg work. That's what the body shops are for. Or so I thought. Had I gotten my own parts at a salvage yard, would insurance have covered the cost, or would they only cover OEM new-- of which they claimed there were none out there? I know you took a lot of pride in your Lincoln Town Car and (did you own a Crown before that? I don't remember); but when I saw all I had to deal with, and what little insurance was willing to pay to fix it, versus what they offered to total it-- going for a replacement car seemed like a no-brainer. Though, at times I am sorry I didn't do better to defend my Vic. I miss the car, but maybe not enough to have tried harder to save it. Sad, but true.

Yes you’re right. It was almost two months of one phone call after another. Thank you for your support. I’m just glad I’m past that point in my life.

Mechanics are all but gone. Parts changers is 90% of the "Technicians" out there.

Much better. I can’t believe how fast this one is healing, compared to the right one (back in 2021). I think there were more bone spurs and other complications that the surgeon had to work harder on. This one was simpler and more straightforward. Thanks for asking.

Thank you so much for the compliment. It means a lot to me.

Thank you so much for the wonderful compliment. So appreciated. I’m going to work on another B-side classic very soon. BTW… I dig your username! Very unique and original! 😎 Have a great rest of your weekend.

@@B3burner thank you and you do the same!

Thank you so much for your compliments- they mean a lot to me. The growl is a combination of basic overdrive combined with increased transformer gain & hysteresis texturing. I had to read up on the hysteresis part, and still don’t fully understand it, but I know the sound works. As for my vocals, I don’t consider myself a singer per se, but I changed the key to suit my voice, and it worked for me. I like doing songs that are catchy to me, but not necessarily that well known. It’s more fun to me that way.

While it is a painful surgery- and I’m not going to lie about that- the worst of the pain in only within the first 5 to 7 days after. After that, the pain becomes decreasingly noticeable, to the point that it’s more an aching pain from the stretching and physical therapy, than it is the sharp pain at first. My advice, when the doctor gives you pain killers, don’t wait for the pain to start before taking them. By then it’s too late. If the doctor is smart he or she will be conservative with the opioids and not overprescribe to the point of risking addiction. Don’t be afraid to switch to Ibuprofen when you think you can tolerate just that. Any swelling is better controlled by that anyway. The surgery itself is pretty low risk, so long as you have no other noteworthy medical issues. They tested my heart, and I don’t even have a heart condition- but I am 57, so they did it out of an abundance of caution, and I got a clear bill of health in that department. Infection risk is low, so long as you keep the dressing & bandages on at least 3 days. Keep an eye out for redness that travels up or down the leg, but a slight red at the perimeter of the incision is perfectly normal. I also must stress that you get your physical therapy authorized by your doctor & insurance before your surgery, if possible. That way you’re ready to go no more than a week after surgery. Scar tissue builds quickly, and it is vital to stay ahead of it, by starting PT on time, and doing your home exercises on a regular basis. That’s all I can think of at the moment. Good luck, and if you have any other questions, I will try to answer them as best as I can.

@@B3burner thankyou so much it’s great advice

@@B3burner my second knee replacement was done on 2/22/24. The worst pain is the thigh area. You make it thru that, you are golden. Right now, the only pain I have is in my knee cap area, but that is starting to calm down. Ice and elevate and try not to over do it.
