Subject: OT: organ stuff again

I know there were some guys on the list talking about the m-3 being the
only decent "affordable" hammond around. I have to opportunity to but a
Hammond A-100 for $75!!!! Now this thing is not beauty pageant winner,
it looks like it came out of a barn. All the notes work, all the
drawbars work, the perc, vibrato scanner and reverb all seem to work
fine. Besides a professional refinishing and a good cleaning out, this
organ seems to work OK. Now before I haul this thing home and start to
dismantle it and clean out, repair and/or replace anything, does anyone
think this is a worthwhile deal? I know it's going to take some work to
get it to sound tip top, but for $75 can I really go wrong? Anything I
should look out for in this particular model? Tomorrow I'm going over
with the notepad and flashlight, if you guys can think of anything i
should be looking for, please let me know. Thanks, -Nate
