Vintage Synth Repair

I took my Hammond B2 and cut it down so I could carry it a little 
easier.  I took the keys and internal out of the nice wooden "desk" 
and make a flatter, yet deeper, box.  I moved the tone generator from 
underneath to behind the keys.  Still weighs a lot, but i put heavy 
duty handles on my new case.  Of course the foot keys are not longer 
attached.  It is an option.....
