Hammond Aurora 8022

[SR]

Hello everyone: I am looking for information on the Hammond Aurora
8022. I can not find any information on Yahoo or Googles on this organ.

The information I am looking for is, specs, year in came out, original
price, demenions/weight, photos and options by others.

Thank you, SR!

This is a guess mind you, but...

specs: 2x44 key manuals, 13 pedals, drawbars & presets, rhythm section,
electronic tonewheels, may have a built-in leslie OEM system.

year: 70s-80s

original price: no idea, a couple $K probably. Current worth is
whatever you think it's worth.

dimensions: 2' x 3' x 4' (ish)
weight: 300 lbs

OK,

8022 is the japan made version of the 8000.
I used to have a 8000 I bought brand new in Paris Hammond dealer.

I have the brochure of the 8022 (in english) with a price written on it : 18400 french francs of june 78 !

specifications:

2 x 44 keyboards, 13 pedals
it is NOT tonewheels but LSI
9 tonebars for upper, 2 tone mixtures (mellow and bright) for lower (terrible ! ), 2 tobebars for pedal 16 & 8'
sustain and reverb
2 percussions
tibia and strings presets
autovari 16 rhythm with auto bass and auto chord
finger chord and note-a-chord (missing on the US)
Leslie module (slow fast)
85 kg with bench (I dream ... compared to my A102 !)

the japanese version had a keyboard slide cover, the wood look more "plastic" and the sound is slightly different

manufacturer: Sakata Hammond Osaka.

If you want a scan of the brochure ... pls let me know

all the best from Paris

Yes please scan the brochure and send it to me in jpeg if you could.

Is this organ a computer or transitor? And does it have percussions clicks?

Thanks, SR?

[M.L]

Hello !

I will do the scan tomorrow. also, I have a photo of the 8000 (same model made in the US)

As far as I remember, it had not the key click but had 2nd and 3rd percussions.
The generator was LSI (large scale integration chips) and of course, the amp was transistors.

Hi Mike: Does they Aurora 8022 sounds like anything like a B3? Were you
happy with your Aurora 8022?

I might one day buy one, and I want to know if it is worth having it.

Please do not send me any zip files. A jpeg will be fine.

Thank you, SR!

No, it isn't !

Some explanations :

The Aurora range had several levels AND (which is not simple) US versions and Jap versions.
The Japanese versions were cheaper and not-so-good, some gadgets added, but sounding different. The furniture was simpler (because
cheaper).

the 8000 (US) and 8022 (japan) were the basic model (I used to have a 8000)
the 8100 later called Aurora Century and 8122 (jap.) were the second level.
the 8200 later called Aurora classic and 8222 (Your brochure made in japan) were the top of this range.

I have sent today the scan of the 8022 brochure together with the 8100 and 8200 (but sorry, they are in French !) plus a photo of
mine.
I have a test found in a french review for the "century" made in japan (8122). The conclusion is severe : It's not a Ham !

I changed my 8000 for an Aurora classic 8200 (US). This one had a fantastic sound.
Many specialists say this was the best sound of all the LSI range.
When I moved for the Colonnade (big keyboards, big pedal) it was supposed to be the same generator, but anyway, it was sounding a
little less than the "classic".

One more information, after looking at my files:

the first version (US) of the 8000 series had a spinet furniture ONLY.

This is this look which was used as simplified in the japanese range. (ending with "xx22")

In another hand, the US range was improved and called "Aurora" at this time. They had a new version of the autovary rhythmbox.
All the autovary were in fact Acetone rhythm-ace (future Roland) made OEM for Hammond. That means that links with Japan were
existing for a long time.

8000 and 8022 had only spinet furniture (three colours choice for the US) and autovary 28
8100, later called Aurora custom (US) had three furnitures (spinet, chippendale and horse shoe) and switched from autovary 28 (8100)
to brand new autovary 40 on the custom. In the same time, 8122 (jap) was called Aurora Century, and kept the autovary 28.
8200, later called Aurora Classic even for the 8222 (japan made) had the three furnitures (spinet, chippendale and horse shoe) and
kept autovary 64.
the 8222 had touch switches, I have never played it but some friends told me "nothing to compare with yours :-( "

Aurora century had a bad quotation in the music press. So the 8200 was searched and I had the opportunity to sell it and buy the
colonnade with few expenses.
but anyway, I had "the sound" changed for the "keyboards and pedals", mild feeling. I switched to the tonewheels this year (A 102).

JP: Thank you. Now I have to find a pdf program in order to open up
the file. My PC did not come with it.

I'll prabably try to download it tonight.

Thanks. SR!

M.L. The 8022 that I saw for sale did not have tabs over the top manual
as I saw in the picture on that site. The tabs were on the left side.

Could that be the cheaper model? And if so, how much do you think a
used model is worth?

Thanks, SR!

[M.L]

Hello SR !

Sorry for delay, I was overseas.

Did you receive the scans I sent to your personal e-mail ?

the 8000 - 8022 was the successor of the Maverick. There was no tabs over the manuals but rocking tabs on the left hand side.

the 8100 - 8122 and 8200-8222 were the successors of the first " Aurora" known as the top of the spinet range.

8022 is saw in Europe was a cheap organ, compared to the US equivalent ... let's say 75% of the US model price.

In order to be a bargain, it must be proposed at a low price.
