CONSOLE HEATER

extreme dampness, it is often advisable to install a heater in the console to keep
the interior of the instrument dry and to reduce the possibility of excess moisture
causing damage to electrical parts.
A heater designed for this purpose (was) available 1n kit form from the factory.
This kit includes all necessary mounting parts and may be installed by the service
technician in any Hammond organ console in a few minutes time.
