Hi Folks,
Thought I'd jump on the tail end of this thread before it disappears
for a while. Returning home satiated and renewed from the AMICA
Convention, my eyes fell unavoidably upon some beautiful but
square-footage-robbing objects doing a good job of blocking the
hallway.
Last November I was fortunate to 'save' from the church up the street,
days before it's portage to the landfill to make way for their new
Johannus 3 manual digital, an immaculately maintained 1938 (!) Hammond
model D with the harmonic tremulant generator. The bonus was _two_
mid-60s Leslie 122 speakers, the ones with the plywood shelf and
two-motor rotors, also immaculate save for one shallow barely noticeable
dent in each walnut cabinet.
Now, as lovely as the Hammond and Leslies are, I would rather it were
a B-A player, and my Theremin already has an internal amplifier and
speakers, so...
[ Connect the Theremin to the big rotating Leslie, Dave! :))
[ Hear Outer Space! -- Robbie
A web search turned up some extraordinary values for these items but
I thought I'd poll all you kindly Digesters of things Hammond and
Leslie before I decide whether to fit 'em all in :-( or to separate
out a Leslie (or the whole shebang) for sale.
Any real world advice and values will be appreciated. Maybe one of you
would like to pull up in a truck? Digipix available for the asking.
from relatively remote mid-Southern Ontario, Canada
