Jealous of all the lucky new owners, as usual. A couple months ago I could have picked up a Leslie branded organ with 122 unit, but was flat broke. :( Would love to pick up a Hammond or better yet, a Mellotron. I don't think there are any left undiscovered in California, certainly not the Central Valley, but I keep scouring anyway.
In other news I've nearly re-capped the power supply on my Conn spinet. I'm pretty sure I wired two electrolytics backward and am trying to figure that out before I plug it in. Waiting on a few more caps to ship to me, then it lives!
