Ed,

After perusing the lists responses to your inquiry I think your 
best bet is to glue the key with CA glue.  I believe the Hammond 
key is basicly a hollow, plastic KSO (key shaped object).  It 
might very well be broken near where it pivots. I'm no organ 
technician but you might see if you can expose the keyboard, 
find the break and CA it!  Now if someone has a source for 
Hammond keys, just ignore my ideas.

Sincerely,

David ilvedson, RPT
