DanL Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 A porta B has tone wheels. It's basically an L100 in a "portable" (that word is misleading) case with removable legs. Not sure about the price, but if it's in real good condition it could be worth that much.

MidLifeCrisis Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I used to rent porta-b's back in the day whenever my C3 was in the shop. From what I remember is was fairly accurate with regard to the true tonewheel sound. It does have a real tonewheel generator as DanL stated. I think that it has a different Vibrato/Chorus scanner ala the L1xx series. I remember it being heavy. Each piece was well over 100 lbs. With no leslie, the asking price seems a bit high. I have bid on a couple on ebay that wound up going in the $400 range. Of course you had to add in $300 - $400 in shipping. It has built in speakers so you should be able to give it a good workout. If it runs good and is in decent shape I would haggle a little. Seems like you are in the ball park. It's certainly a better potential gigging board then the M3 with its ability to be split into 2 pieces.
