I did give a fresh update a few days ago....hmmmm Perhaps it didn't go through:[Up and running, y'all. It was so dry for so long that the starter motor was frozen. Keeping an eye (ear?) on her for awhile while the oil seeps in. But the tech (Tyler at Boss Organ in Somerville) got it all taken care of in about an hour. The leslie needed some minor adjustments. The only casualty; vibrato scanner is also frozen and will need a rebuild. Not too bad. When all is said and done, I'll have dropped about $400 for servicing and mods. It sounds amazing....can't say enough about that. Now to see how it tracks......]So that was last Thursday. I have sessions booked Friday and next week for it. Been messing with it...We still need to install the hand switch and the leslie stop function (three position switch). Currently it has a two position footswitch (fast/slow). I was actually somewhat taken aback by the leslie's quickness in speed change. Very responsive. He also added a sweet 1/4" output with a trim pot. I am so in love with this thing....my mellotron is a bit jealous at the moment.Cheers!

Thankfully it was not present during his Hammond's untimely demise by flooding several years back. He's stoked to give it a new home at the studio and rev it up again.
