That is very cool of you Gary. I just had to point that out to the group, that is the essence of what it means to be a gentleman.
I am very sorry though that another signifigant other mas made you stuff into "junk, eyesore etc". Every time I see a frilly pillow I wonder what am i sleeping with ?

Hi Fritz,

This guy on my Hammond forum can probably help with the foldback mod: http://captain-foldback.com
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 :).  I have an
XK-3c so my back breaking days of B3, C3, and M3s are over! :)

Cheers,

Gary

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.
