Jennings Organ Company "Model C", serial number 34

1956

"V" stands for "V-series" (which superceded the older "B-series"), the second "C" probably a second designation of the model.

Thanks to Steve, pictures of a Jennings "Model C" organ from 1956 - serial number 34, for many years (possibly from new) in the West Country. Below, general views of the exterior, and sets of pictures of the amplifier and power supply sections.

Component date codes are noted in the captions. Both of the main assemblies bear the same inspection stamp:

First picture: the main tray containing the note generator assemblies for the seven octaves of the keyboard, and the vibrato module. Below, details of one of the oscillator/generator assemblies (producing the 12 notes for the octave in view) - wired up by Jean, one of the members of the organ department in 1956.
