Sorry, that's a Hammond Piano, not an organ. ;)

 

 

 

Seriously, it looks pretty clean. I wonder what year it is.

If it's pre 1964 I would buy it in a second...

Would be a good deal for it even if it was post-1964 for that little $...TG/preamp/drawbar base/drawbars/bench/pedals worth that easy....even if it had foam-eaten manuals. C'mon wmp, your B-3 wants an A-100 sister. :D

I'd do the same if I had the time. The best I can do is two days.

 

In addition to the mint 1963 B3 I just picked up, I just scored a free Baldwin Hamilton school upright. Moved it home last night. It's a half tone flat and it's unplayably sticky. It's in very good shape aside from the finish which indicates it spent a lot of time in sunny rooms. This one is all labor, easy labor, and no parts. The hammers have almost no wear. It came out of a Boston school that closed about ten years ago. The guy who gave it to me does security systems work for the mover. The mover has a bunch of these things he'd like to give me.

 

If it's like [emphasis] Christmas over here, I may as well roll with it and do a little piano work again. This could be another way to fund my severe GAS attack. I'm looking at a Steinway O toward the end of next week.

My new B3 is going to have lots of good company. I am going to need a larger place real soon. It really is like [emphasis] Christmas over here. I went shopping for trailers so I could move my toys without renting trucks and stumbled into a brand new 6'x12' single axel box trailer for free. Fold down rear door / ramp with a side door. Worth $2k to 3k?

I have pretty much resolved with myself that I will never own a really nice B3. Can't afford one and good ones seem to be getting rare and even more expensive. So...my A100 is manna from heaven itself and a blessing for sure (free as a write off). I'm second owner of my baby and she's a 10. Got a BC in the garage that's a 1 on the Olson scale.

 

Hope this find gets to a good home!

He is amazing.... Can make the ugliest Hammond ever built look and sound like the most beautiful.

+1. The front legs devalue it by at least 50%.

So much so that even I notice. I'm not a very classy guy. Most of my furniture is from CurbMart. I'm not all that picky, but you have to draw the line somewhere. Around here, "Fifi" would would get dismembered in a hurry. Her skin and extremities would go to my wood locker. Her innards would go in a road case.

 

If that A-100 hasn't found a good home by tomorrow night I'll probably buy it.

If only I could find one of these a little further north (Maine). Maybe someday.

They're around. I've found a couple on Craigslist. And now I own them.

Lonnie,

 

I will have to have you be my " eyes" the next time one comes across your path. Or you could "share" the wealth if you have extras..

Ask your Hammond tech to be on the lookout for one. That's how I found two of my organs.
