#F.45. 1956 MINT 56 B3 with matching Leslie and HR tone cabine
Serial Number - 61042
Dead mint 1956 B3 just removed from it's original resting place since 1956 with the fabulous HR-40 Hammond tone cabinet and a 147 two speed leslie! The previous owner bought the B3 new and played it very litte. It was in a room with no windows, so there is NO sun fade. Just look at the deep rich color!
The huge HR-40 Hammond Tone cabinets are the best and most powerful tone cabinet ever produced. It has 40 watts of power with nine 10" speakers and two 12" speakers! This combined with a powerful 147 leslie is the most potent sound you will ever hear from a B3!!!
Thunderous bottom, mids and biting highs!

#F.47.1955 Early B3 with Leslie and tone cabinet
Serial Number - 56528
One of the special "very early" B3's. The B3 models started production in 1955. Only a few of the very 1st 1955 B3 organ cases were made with the beautiful and expensive steam bent curved fallboard that were on the B2's,( see the photos). The company realized they could save money if they made the fallboard without the steam bent piece. All the B3 range, 1955-1975 do not have the steam bent curved fallboard except for a handful of the very early 1955 examples.
This example is beautiful. It has its original HR-40 tone cabinet and I added a matching 147 two speed leslie.
The HR-40 tone cabinets are the loudest and most powerful cabinet ever manufactured by Hammond. Eleven speakers! Two 12". NINE 10"!
This trio is extremley powerful and loud! Thunderous bottom, huge mids and screaming highs.
Very few hours of playing on the organ during her quiet life in the living room.. Action feel like new. Not a mark on the pedals!
Sold! Thanks Alex: France

#F- 51.1956 Holy Grail B3
Serial Number - 60493
Presenting the creme d la creme of over 800 Hammonds I have owned.
A 1956 B3 with its JR-20 Hammond Tone Cabinet and a 21H leslie Speaker. I have installed a 2 speed kit in the 21H leslie.
The organ came from an estate where apparently nobody knew who to play the organ as I cannot find evidence of ANY wear on it!
This is the HOLY GRAIL for the B3's! As close to a "ten" you will ever see.
Sounds and plays and looks just as if it was sitting the Hammond Dealers showroom in 1956!!

1955 PRO B3 with leslie and sub woofer
Serial Number - 58936
My personal stage B3:

Best of all worlds. This B3 has magnificent stage presence and the power and sound is unmatched.
NOTHING EQUALS THE LOOK AND SOUND OF A VINTAGE B3/LESIE ON OR OFF STAGE!! You can go anywhere with her: Jimmy Smith, McGriff, Chester Thompson. Grand Funk Railroad, Deep Purple, etc. etc. All the cool options: 150 watt powered Sub woofer, if you want to shake the walls with bass and mids, knife cutting highs for the percussion attacks, all variable to your individual taste with a tube driven eq booster. State of the art light touch foot sidekick leslie switching that works with or without the cool l.e.d hand leslie control. Super cool hanging Hammond/Leslie lighted signs. Detachable light for drawbars and keys for those cool dark effect stage lighting gigs. If you do not want to kick pedals, set her up with the comfortable backrest cushioned swivel seat. Full 147 two speed leslie with the sweet original V21 Jensen driver, fresh reconed Jensen P15L woofer, sweet custom frequency splitter that makes the mids and lower frequencys accent that wonderful whoo, whoo classic sound effect when the leslie is switched from choral to tremolo, new 147 amplifier with bass boost modificaton.
Top rotor and bottom drum miked with two shure 57's on permanent microphone mounts. Just plug your hi and low feed into the board.
This is as good as it can get.
You can make her whisper or drive the bass and guitar player off the stage.
