I remember earlier when I had a Hammond m3 (B3's little brother?) and a 145 Leslie. On the M3 the sound was really dirty and Low fi and the Horns refused to spin in the Leslie so I sold them for both 100 dollars as they were broken.........NOT!!! As an owner of old classic keys such as 2 Hammond's, Leslie and mellotrons it is one's responsibility to routinely clean and adjust this classic instruments. I wish there were more Mellotron owners like Oxford as I would gladly expand my vintage pieces
