This is an interesting organ and it has led a bit of a life. I bought it off a chap called Gerry Richardson who said in its 50 odd years it had been both a studio and live organ and been played on some pretty big stuff. It was modified and overhauled in 1997 by his engineer Tom Kellett who removed the speakers and reverb section and effectively wired it like a B3/C3. At the same time he installed custom outputs for both 6 and 9 pin Leslie speakers and dual jack line outs so there are many options there when fed through guitar pedals etc.There are two small switches attached that control rotary speed but it really would need some half moon switches long term. It has been gigged over time and the case shows it. There are quite a few dents and scuffs to the wood which I hope you can see in the pictures, though the keyboard console itself is quite clean. The top C# on the bottom manual is slightly clicky but still works perfectly and mechanically the organ is fine. I didn't buy it for the road and it's been sat at home, but due to the output options it would definitely make either a great studio workhorse or gigging organ. There is also a Leslie 760 to go alongside it in good cosmetic condition with just a couple of fabric tears. The audio on the bottom rotor is intermittent but everything spins so this may not be a big issue to fix. I'll include a new 9 pin cable I bought from David Swain at Swain Electronic Services There is a bench and a set of pedals that came with the organ and in similar condition to the organ and there is also a spare set of pedals I picked up for spares or repairs. Add to that a good tin of genuine Hammond oil, a box of assorted valves, various spare waterfall keys and one 9 pin Leslie cable connector. I am selling all really as I just need the space quickly and have tried to price it accordingly to go. Due to the size and weight of the organ collection in person is required so it can be tested etc. It will need a van, a trolley and several people to lift though I can help load and access is fairly good. I am happy for it to be viewed too, though I work and will need to fit this in where I can. Happy to answer any questions and good luck with any bids. Thanks for looking.
