It has the B3 TW, the B3 Vibrato Scanner, waterfall keys; it does not have foldback but you could purchase a kit so that it can be added. 8 drawbars on the lower manual (missing the 5 1/3). If things work correctly it definitely worth the $150 investment.

It looks cool but I like to be able to slide some. I guess for a spinet organ it would be good. My fat ass would be stuck like quick sand. ð

Boston used an M3... Not sure about the bench though... Maybe the Queen of Sheebah?

 

I'd like to get it but it's a bit far away and besides, I don't have a truck or van handy along with a couple of "movers". I'm sure it won't last long at that price.

Get it with a UHaul truck or trailer and a couple of friends (for a case of brews each) -- get it or regret it, your choice.

I stay away from spinets as the residual isn't good but the M3 is good for what it is.
Residual on $150 is not such an issue, at least.

 

Cheers, Mike.

 

 

Yes Mike your right. I am just saying that from a dealer perspective. The three series consoles is where the money is.

Lots of good options with the M3. I added foldback, cleaned busbars, replaced a set of drawbars, added a 1/4" out, lowered the bottom manual an octave and adjusted the action to trigger very high. I became a master of the soldering iron when done.

People gigged them actively from let's say '65 through '75 ....I paired mine w a 145!

That was like a perfect rig in those days... Mine was Ebony.. T/G went on it ... gigged it for about 3 1/2 years mostly in the Catholic H.S. Dance circuit in Queens, NY. Picked it up after Woodstock in the Fall of '69. . .

Like this but w a Walnut 145 I bought new in '69 after I found the organ in the 'Buy Lines Press' from an older couple on Long Island who had it it their living room for $650! I was 17!

Delaware Dave -- FWIW the M3 (all the M series) is missing both the 5 1/3' and 16' drawbars, i.e. both browns. The 8th drawbar, a unique feature of these organs, is "black with a red dot". This is a mixture drawbar which is the same as the two black side-by-side drawbars (1 3/5' + 1 1/3'), but up an octave.

About the foldback kits. I"ve never owned a spinet. Is this really worth it on a 44 key manual. When they do these do they do both manuals?

There's an M3 for 100 in the Providence area. I'm very tempted but the seller is a flake as far as communication.

Also I would do exactly what ABECK did, but I cannot even screw in a lightbulb.

It was a long, deliberate process, requiring time, space and an understanding spouse. I'm regretting that I didn't re-cap the tone generator at the time, but there's no way I'm cracking that baby open again.

Thanks a lot ABECK. That knowledge allows me to not even consider it. THANK YOU!
