You've heard it said "The Best B-3's are A-100's" ... even better then .. two living room granny consoles: A-100 & B2, professionally combined to resulting in very clean Living Room B3 retroI've built many FrankenB's over the years, this is an especially nice one!The Sound? It's got all the Growl you need for The Sermon, Chicken Shack or getting your Mojo Workin'.. It's got the right vibe for Green Onions too. Keyboards and Pedals have the touch and feel we like, from Hammond's best period.ALL parts "above the shelf" are "matching numbers" from a very lightly used 1960 A-100. Including: Kybds and Drawbar Control Panel assembly, Tonewheel Generator, and AO-28 ( expression control reversed for B-3 orientation )The clean 1953 B2 was a one-owner console and had "staggered" wiring harness to TG, so original bass pedal switch and wiring remains, just as would be found in a '55 B3. Of course the Pedal Felt has been replaced w/ the OEM H/S part. The AC inlet and 5-pin outlet have new correct wiring, replacing the always unsafe brittle old stuff (not everyone does that?)Vintage 122 Leslie 8000 Kit & Tremolo Switch included!The B2 music rack wood base was carefully routed for correct B3 Start & Run placement w/ correct mounting plate and orig machine screws and brass inserts ( not everyone does that too?? )Matching Bench & Bass pedals are clean and ready for time-keepin' bass drum thud or walkin'Yes - ALL Keys play on ALL Drawbars.
