B3000 mods



I have a B3000 and Leslie 715 combination and I am surprised to hear so
little about the model.  The B3000 doesn't even have an entry in the FAQ.
Were there relatively few produced compared to tonewheel models?  

For a 1970's effort at mimicking a tonewheel organ in transistors and early
digital chips, I think it actually has a rather thick and traditional sound
to it.  Just looking at the effort that went into producing a realistic key
click (there's a separate circuit board inside just to make the clicks)
makes me believe that it's not such a bad model.  Ok, I know that it'll
never sound as good as a B3, and in an ideal world I would have a B3 and a
B3000 (in that order), but it does have a few nice features that are not
found on tonewheel models.  

Anyway, does anyone know of useful modifications to the B3000 or 715 that
could enhance their sound or functionality?  I have a service manual,
schematics and a soldering iron and I'm not afraid to use them  :-)

Thanks in advance
