Hammond H100
A name that turns up on two very different pieces of gear - and the archive can't yet say which one this page is about.
Overview
The Hammond H100 is an unresolved entry. The source material attached to this page points in two directions, and neither is strong enough to settle it. One set of documents describes a British PA and instrument cabinet, the S-W H100 horn cabinet, built by the team that replaced the Simms-Watts range. A separate service-manual excerpt uses "H100" as a connector and cable designator inside a piece of Line 6 equipment. Neither is a Hammond organ. Neither is confirmed to be the intended subject.
The strongest single piece of evidence in the file concerns the cabinet. A contemporary trade-show report describes the H100 as a horn cabinet suited to either PA or instrument work, and notes it could be used in pairs. That is period trade-press reception, not an independent lab measurement, so read it that way.
The advertising material gives a second, conflicting set of figures. One S-W advertisement pairs a compact six-channel Vocal Blender with two "SW H100 Universal Cabinets" and rates the Vocal Blender at 100 watts RMS into 8 ohms. A later printing of what appears to be the same advertisement gives 150 watts into 4 ohms for the same unit and the same price of £199.95. Those wattage figures belong to the Vocal Blender, not to the H100 cabinet. Anyone chasing an H100 should not assume either number describes the cabinet itself.
The file has no confirmed manufacturer attribution tying an H100 to Hammond, no production years, no original price for the cabinet, no dimensions, no impedance figure, no weight, and no documentation of the Hammond Organ Company building anything under this name. If you have a serial plate, a catalog page, or a dated photograph, the archive would like to see it. Until then, this page stays thin.
