Those are actually the small ones.  :)

When you said "large", I first expected you to have the full-size
pedalboard, such as found on a B3--or the even larger RT-3 or G-100
pedalboards.

There is one common problem with this type of Hammond pedalboard. They used
square blocks of rubber as "pedal bushings", and these will eventually
crumble up and start falling out. This gives you a very noisy pedalboard,
with the harsh sound of steel clanging against steel, every pedal note you
play. The cure is to purchase the felt replacement bushings from Organ
Service (the official source for old Hammond parts.) These are an upgrade
to the old rubber bushings.

take care,
Glen
