This got me curious about old organs in general, and in some  
goolgling, I ran across this:

It's not the model you're looking at, but if you look at the top of  
the schematic (listed as Figure 6 on the website), there's what  
appears to be a "solo" section, including switches for "bass,"  
"tenor," and "soprano."

Perhaps various hammond models share some similar innards? If so this  
might be useful.
