Goingto southern VA next weekend to pick up my newly purchased Hammond M3!!! Only two owners, only moved twice and its current owner is a piano and organtech/hammond wiz. The first owner was the proverbial little old lady who playedit on Sundays for her church group.  Don't know the exact age, but we'llfind out.  It has the Leslie interface installed and comes with a sparepreamp and tube set. My Leslie 145 is fully functioning but going through acabinet restoration. My wife thinks I'm crazy.  Wait till she hears thisthing cranked.
