About 15 years ago I got heavily into Hammonds after a relative found an M-3 at a garage sale. I fell in love with tonewheel organs (Hammonds) and dove into learning about and repairing them like I did with pinball about 4 years ago. At one point I had 5 spinets in my house. I converted an M-1** series to a chop by building a cab and used it with a blues band in Northern MO for a few years. It's been sitting in my shop unused for about a decade now but I've been getting the itch to get back into playing music and have decided to get real about finally picking up a B3/122 combo (or perhaps C3/A-100).

To that end I'll be selling my WOZ RR to fund a different hobby. Was curious not if, but how many Hammond fans/players are out there and if anyone has a project A/B/C console Hammond for a reasonable price within a couple hundred miles of Atlanta/Columbus, GA. Also just curious to hear about any other Hammond fans or additionally fans of other EM instruments like Wurly 200A or Fender Rhodes or Pianet/Clavinet - just that whole era.

Ran six miles yesterday listening to mostly organissimo. The sound of a tonewheel hammond is like the voice of angels in that it can really just get to you. EM beauty

Quoted from Gryszzz:

I have my Grandmas Hammond from the 1960's. It still sounds great! Not sure what kind of Hammond it is, but I'll snap a pic tomorrow when I get home. Kept it around for that Allman Brothers cover band that never took off.

Let's see it!
