Well it would have been great to meet you and I would have gained points with the girl friend in the process! J
It’s been there for over a decade so if you’re ever on the left coast let me know……
It was given to me by a keyboard player/friend but I always had a B3/C3 with a Leslie back then for gigging so
the M3 became living room furniture…. Now that I have the XK-3c and a Ventilator I would like to upgrade my
living room to a C3 and 122 (to really piss off my girlfriend J )…..

That would certainly be a wonderful drive across country. That's always been a dream. I'm quite a fan of driving. Situations being different I would have taken you up on it.
Thanks for the tip on the foldback mod!
best,
fritz
He also archives schematics on everything. If you want to come to California I have a working M3 I will
give you for free! I’m tired of hearing my girlfriend bitch about it being in the front room J. I have an
XK-3c so my back breaking days of B3, C3, and M3s are over! J
Doing research on it now!
Congratulations Fritz- I love those M3's- you could drop them off a
battleship, retreive them months later , dry them off and they would still
play (something I heard Hammond actually did). Maybe in the future you can
get the foldback mod on the upper register and it will be in essence a B3
with shorter keyboards.
