Domus 8 (1979) swell manual stopped working (1 reply)
Since the majority of the organ components appear to be working, your symptoms indicate that the problem could be in the swell keyboard. Ideally you need a circuit diagram and the ability to trace the signals from the keyboard. Failing this you need expert outside help or a new organ.

Back to Viscount Organs Forum...
Hi everyone! I'm an organist and multi instrumentalist from Italy. I have acquired a Viscount Domus 8 analog organ from an old church and it honestly worked great. That until suddenly some month after the purchase the swell manual stopped working entirely. If I try to play it with some registers on I can hear a quiet pop from the speakers but if I play the lowest Eb on the keyboard i hear a loud "thunk" noise. I've already tried to swap the oscillators and the microcontrollers/mosfets and it changes nothing, so both of them work... Anyone has an idea on what to do?
Thank you everyone
