Another great video, Tony - I am consistently amazed with how much knowledge and understanding you have about these electrical circuits, truly understanding how they work and the function each component serves in the grand scheme.
Tony you do say some crazy stuff: Electrolytic capacitor electrolyte doesn't 'evaporate' through cardboard tubes. Those tubes are insulators placed over metal cans. Electrolyte dries out, especially as the result of heat. Heat is death to capacitors over time.
Sorry to see your views haven't improved...keeping organ techs well fed and housed with all the modifications I keep coming up with to the Allen 323. Latest is bought a Suzuki Hammond and had it midi'd to the 323. Still love the old B-3 sound. My next door neighbor, Cherilyn Sarkisian, you know her better as Cher, is fascinated with this contraption. She plays a lot of golf with my wife and I am teaching her keyboards. She likes the old sound of the theatre organ played with DVD's of silent comedy's shown on a 72 inch screen over the console. Sometimes we get disgustingly drunk fooling around with all the capabilities of this monstrosity. She is working on a PBS show about theater organs and accompaniment to silent films. I accompany her and at her age, 75, she can still belt out "Hooray for Hollywood" and "There's No Business Like Show Business" of course everything sounds good after a few bottles of fine Scotch.
I have a Rodgers 33E that I am trying to repair. Current the audio has a lot of static. I think I have traced it to the output chassis and when I tap on the Q5 transistor the static goes crazy. Am I correct in assuming that it needs to be replaced and that I can replace it with a 2N1303 or 2N1370. If so which would be the best.

I wonder why Rodgers used relays for the stop key switches instead of solid state...
We would have to speak with Fred Tinker about that. My guess is that in 1967 it was somehow a prudent choice.
