The Mellotron Group

Hi Fritz,

 

Must be the week for Hammonds.  Just returned from Cincinnati after
purchasing an M103.  This was from the original owner who gave me all
the original documents and maintenance records .  It was purchased, are
you ready Frank, 9/11/1963 for $1,663.40.  That's close to $12,500 in
today's dollars.  Her Father worked for General Motors in Springfield,
OH and financed for 48 months.  It looks and sounds great.  Will pick up
Saturday after I find 3 guys to help move it.

 

Regards,

 

John

Going to 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 organ tech/hammond wiz. The first owner was the proverbial
little old lady who played it on Sundays for her church group.  Don't
know the exact age, but we'll find out.  It has the Leslie interface
installed and comes with a spare preamp and tube set. My Leslie 145 is
fully functioning but going through a cabinet restoration. My wife
thinks I'm crazy.  Wait till she hears this thing cranked.
