Well, the Sundae Club is in Rural Gloucestershire. (England....Not 
Gloucester Mass.) We're proud to own a Hammond A102 c/w French 
Provincial casework. One Richard Goodsell who appears to be one of 
those tossers who converts anything which has tonewheels and an octave 
of reverse coloured keys into an ersatz "Model-B3" considers it to be 
Hammond's "Most Hideous Creation".  In terms of performance it beats 
the B3 in that it has a splendid tube amp set-up with quality Jensen 
speakers and a dedicated reverb amp and speaker so what does HE know!!? 
It's also very cheap to buy and since that casework was usually only 
bought by careful Senior Citizens and the most effeminate members of 
the homosexual community most are one-owner instruments in perfect 
condition. Add a Leslie and the B3 sound is there.....

He he he!!
