According to the shop manual, the A-100 is made of "red mohagany."  I just had 
my chopped B-3 transplanted into one of these cases. 
It is simply beautiful.  But then it depends on what you plan to use the organ 
for.  If it's for home-use in a living room
environment the A-100 is perfect as you don't need to leave room for a Leslie ( 
A-100 has it's own sound system w 3-12" speakers.) 

That's probably why the ad doesn't mention a Leslie.  If you plan to haul the 
organ around to gigs, the A-100 is much heavier than a
B-3 because of the complete built in sound system.  Plus you would probably 
still want a Leslie for projecting sound and it's
effect.  So what it's worth to you depends on your purpose.  $2500 sounds a 
little high but then how often do you see one for sale
in your area and how badly do you have to have it?  If you were buying a brand 
new one  in the mid-60's, that would be a great
price.  

Now I'm trying to figure out how to incorporate a Pro-3 with my A-100 sound 
system  for that perfect
compact-living-room-screaming-Hammond/Leslie-sound.
