What happened to the Hammond Organ Company service parts?
All completed manufactured products were sold to Hammond Dealers, Distributors or company employees. Service parts, which were then part of the Service Department inventory within the Hammond Organ Company, were retained by a separate company. This was done to enable fulfillment of the remaining warranty obligations of the company. All those obligations were officially fulfilled by the end of the year 1990. That company was the Hammond Organ Service Company. (Due to the sale of the name Hammond, it was required that the Organ Service Company drop the name “Hammond”). Jerry Welch had been the Director of Product Services for the Hammond Organ Company and headed up the Organ Service Company. He still remains the owner of the Organ Service Company, Incorporated and continues the business operations to this day. Many of the original parts are still in the service inventory and continue to be sold to this day.
