Hammond B3 organs have 9 drawbars.  These relate only to the  
continuous tones, not the "decay" tones (Hammond calls those  
"Percussion", and they have separate switches to turn them on).  Your  
group of 8 continuous tones is missing one of the traditional Hammond  
harmonics, but I don't know which one, unfortunately.
