Keyboard Rebuilders does this.  They have a nice flyer showing pictures from 
all angles available upon request.  They are in the FAQ
and at phone 504 343-2369 (Baton Rouge, LA).   Their conversion seems a bit 
pricey at $2,850 U.S.  .......plus..........trade in of
your B-3, C-3 or A-100.    I shudder when I hear the word  "chop."   Half the 
beauty of the B-3 is it's classic 4-spindeled leg
shape.   It's the first thing I look for in an MTV live video to see if a band 
is for "real".   On the other hand, Keyboard
Rebuilders will also sell you an original B3-style case, or any part of it,  if 
you have second thoughts later on.
