Markets are variable by region, but without determining the working condition there is no place to start. A working C 2 with a JR-20 tone cabinet could bring $1M in some markets, $1C in others. If...

Looks Italian, C1960. some were built to stand alone and might have a knee operated mute, but this appears to be a table model, so no volumn control. If you paid over $5, you made a generous...

The "R" Stands for Reverberation. You have the original pre-war oil reverb system that made reverb famous. Puttingthe DR-20 togather withtogther with your leslie will give you a secondary celeste...

The purpose of overhanging manuals was to allow just that thing. You have tolearn alternate fingerings, but it is very natural once you work on it a bit.</P>

I Just looked at the Hammond-Suzzuki site again ( hammondorganco.com ), and the B3mk2, the most recent digital, is only different in the slide out controls below the bottom Keyboard on the right, a...

In a few more days one should be able to go to the Fox network site and view the whole episode. Untill then, I guess you could stop by my new place in Memphis ,Missouri (pop 1300) and watch it on my...

Any fans here of the Fox Series "House", about an obstreperous doctor named Gregory House, will have noted the appearance of a B-3 in the in the last five minute of the mose recent episode (#131),...

The 2' in the bass and 16' in the treble is rather common on larger single manual reed organs. They give the player an option to play a triad set in the left hand (usually 8va lower) and a solo in...

A very interesting tour of late Victorian and Eduardian music for Harmonium. I especially liked the linked demonstration piece showing the drone clip, and what an aeolian harp is for!!</P>

Further info: the solo section of the chord organ is in fact a version of the Hammond "solovox" a piano attachment that provided single note melody to augment piano sound. It is related to the solo...

however, I have never heard of a hammond of that era with an internal speaker, with one exception, I think: The G series sold to the military in WWII was a BC that fed signal back from the tone...

I have a 44W that I'm sure was all original when I bought it 15 years ago and the lower rotor is plywood, all painted black.</P>

Many early built-in leslies, and the model 25 had wooden rotors, rather than foam. If you could get hold of one of them, you would aliviate your concerns over high frequency absorbtion.[:-*]</P>

Jah Wohl! I wish I had the space, time, and (lack of) distance to give that old queen a home. I note that the seller /donor does not list the tone cabinet with it.Those needed the paddle wheel above...

Does a Porta-B have lock-down TG screws? It it is in travel lock mode, that could also explain the whiring - but oil is essencial in any case.[Y]</P>


Lee</P>

Just a note a little late perhaps. In your Email a week ago, you refered to the 8" as the treble speaker. Maybe the previous owner modified thing, but the main amp runs the two 12" speakers. The 8"...

Looks to be a BV - no white rocker tabs for either a -2 or -3, no obvious chorus drawbar on the upper right, and what is probably a vibrato - chorus togle switch high on the left above a knob that...

What always surprised me was the relative build quality of the Leslie...

I've wondered that myself, and have never seen one with those variations live. If so, can we call it an E-2? Mayhap they didn't work very well, ergo we never see than[^o)].</P>

A few remberences regarding unresolved points of E product history:</P>


Yes, production of civilian Hammonds ceased in 1942 and all new organs went to the military (Model G = D with very slight...

Second that!! The 4800is the largest of the ES reedWurlitzers witha 32 note pedalboard, which would greatly raise its value as a practice instrument if only it worked[:$]. The connector box,...

As it happens, I have an m-3 hooked into a leslie 25 myself. The 25 had a blown speaker and a blown amp, so I just removed the original speaker and put the M-3's pm speaker in the leslie (extending...

Just a passing thought from one who has no direct experience with any of the units involved: since this seems to to have been a very gerry-rigged job in any case -Is it possible that the present...

Interesting and useful info; TNX.</P>


Is anybody really getting $3500 for one though? I guess there's one born every minute [:$]</P>


Lee</P>

If the Amp and speaker are intact, they are still in demand and useful. I'm guessing the 12au7 &amp; 12ax7 diode tubes are from the tone generator.Definitely try Ebay of Craigslist.[Y]</P>
