Simple and Indescribable

Hello, I own a Yamaha organ, Electone B-2R, purchased in May 1997, and it is a spectacular instrument, an indescribable experience.

Unfortunately, it got damaged. Both the upper and lower keyboard, and the pedal board, only sound for about 4 seconds after turning on the instrument. As it is such an old instrument and the store that sold it no longer exists, I can't find any specialist to repair it. Only an electronic technician (not a specialist in instruments) has offered to repair it but asked me to find the electronic diagram to facilitate his task. If any of you know where to buy such a diagram, please do not hesitate to let me know ([email protected]).

THANK YOU

Very well constructed. One of the simplest Electones ever.

I love it, is just too simple..compared to other Electones. What i miss the most about it is the fact that it has no audio output, apart from headphones. Very few tone controls and rhythms. Great organ, though.

Dude, the headphone jack IS an audio output. The first thing I did when I got one of these was stick a bunch of pedals between it and an amp. I reeeeally hope you've figured this out by now, because it's so much fun.
