I finally got myself a real Hammond organ for 100 bucks. I'm about to pick it up today. Here it is.... Tell me what you think..

Hammond Organ

Chris,

I don't mean to be a buzzkill, but you should've asked before bidding. I do not believe that is a tonewheel Hammond but rather one of the later transistor models. To be curt, don't expect it to sound anything like a Hammond B3, if that's the sound you're going for.

The tonewheel organs to look for are the C2, C3, B2, B3, any of the A-100's (A101, A102, etc.), to a lesser extent the L-100 or H series, or even the M2 or M3 (although those lack decent bass, but they are good to get going on). Anything else is really not worth the investment. Anything with a "built-in" Leslie is not going to be a tonewheel organ.

Sorry.

I'm not an expert, but I tried out a B3000 once and it looked like that.

I just got it. No, it don't sound like a B-3, but I mean, 100 dollars... That's pretty good.
