Here is a very clean Hammond “B-2” organ in excellent condition with bass pedals, bench, and Leslie kit to work with 21H, 22H, 122, 122A, 122RV, 142, 222, and some 31H Leslie speakers. This organ sounds and plays great!The B-2 has a very rich full Hammond sound that has been famous for over a half a century. This is a full size Hammond with smooth drawbars, upper and lower vibrato/Chorus settings, and Soft/normal volume, and 25 note standard bass pedals. The B-2 also has a vintage rebuilt Krueger bass (String bass/bass sustain) pedals.Since most full size Hammond organs in the 40’s-70’s did not have bass sustain, Krueger String bass was very popular add-on to give an adjustable Pluck/sustain to the bass pedals. Normally, the Krueger String bass contact switching was added on the bottom of the bass pedals, about 1 ½ octaves. If you moved the pedals often, the wires and contact switches were more apt to get damaged or break. Someone years ago, someone who owned this organ, used the existing bass pedal contacts in the organ and wired them to the string bass eliminating the hassle of always plugging and un-plugging the wire harness when moving the pedals and taking a chance of breaking wires off. Most or all capacitors were replaced in the Krueger bass, and other parts were up-graded in the unit to get the string bass to work again. The string bass is controlled by the 16’ Bb preset drawbar. This organ is set up for a 122 type Leslie speaker. Note: Organ/Leslie speaker cabinets are extra cost.  The B-2 Organ has been Completely serviced and repaired as needed.Organ has been completely cleaned inside and out. All keys have been lifted up, cleaned underneath, and “up felts” have been replaced.  Preamp has been rebuilt and repaired as needed.All vacuum tubes have been tested and replaced if needed.
