Tonysounds Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 L100? Hitting "Play" does NOT constitute live performance. -Me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEB Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 If I had to wager I would say yes. My best guess would be a M-165 or maybe a M-162 cabinet.

wmp Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Not enough tombstones for an M100 series. Looks more like an L100 to me. --wmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesG Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I believe this is an M162 "institutional" cabinet with a later L100 (L111, L112, or L122) inside it. The brightness tab indicates that this is not an L100/L101/L102/L103. UK Hammond was known for building unofficial "cross-breeds", particularly as production was winding up.

LX88 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 If it's a spinet it's the only one I have seen with a fold down top. He does some nice things with it though. The british guys sure did come up with some interesting drawbar settings. Another example on how important Hammonds were in popular music in the 20 th century. Many people don't even know what a Hammond is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3Nut Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 It's a UK/Euro L-100 series, some of the Euro licensees made them with locking tops. Could well be a Brodr. Jorgenson (Denmark) build. One of the licensees over there built a locking-top version of the standard shallow A-100 too, different from the A-105 cabinet. There's a video from German TV on YT of Joey D. playing one. --- Todd A.

B3Nut Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I like it too. I think it's a shame that Chicago didn't copy some of the cabinet designs their European licensees came up with. Hammond Germany made M-3's with a locking top and sloping sides like the C-3. They were really sharp-looking. The HX-100 (H-100 console in an X-66-like cabinet) was another neat design the Europeans came up with. (For anyone unfamiliar with overseas tonewheel Hammond production, Hammond would license the overseas manufacture of their instruments using internal assemblies shipped in "trays" - hence the term "tray organ" sometimes referred to - assembled by the licensee into cabinetry of their own making. They could use Hammond's cabinet designs or come up with their own. Leslie had the same sort of arrangement. All the internals were made in Chicago or Pasadena respectively, just the cabinetry and final assembly took place in the licensee's home country. Boosey & Hawkes in the UK and Brodr. Jorgenson in Denmark were big ones, there were plants in Belgium, Germany, and South Africa as well. Interestingly, licensees would often come up with add-on circuits, pedal sustain being a common add-on. There was an A-100S with pedal sustain.)

Funny.... seems the reverse is true nowadays... with electronics being manufactured in China and Japan, and the product being assembled in the US.

Skinny Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Hammond Germany made M-3's with a locking top and sloping sides like the C-3. They were really sharp-looking. That sounds cool. Any pics? I've never seen one in person, but I think the M-162 is by far the coolest looking spinet. However, a close second for me is an M-102; I've seen a few for sale locally; wouldn't mind having one just for sh*ts and giggles, if I had the space. Stuff and things.

WesG Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Now I'm thinking I should have bought that mint M162 for $300 when I had the chance (good price for retail). Locking tops ARE pretty cool. I added a "bash bar" to the front rail of my L111 so that if it rolls in the van or gets carried around a corner carelessly, the bash bar takes the hit instead of the (diving board) keys.
