Gary,

I've developed excellent interrogation skills on the phone, thanks to Hammonds.
 
Like everyone, I'm always looking for another one.  It's amazing how many B3s 
and C3s are for sale with 1 octave bass pedals and 44 note manuals.  Not to 
mention how many "with Leslie" .... the "Leslies" being internal, of course.

The killer is the seller who can't (or won't) count drawbars accurately.  Ever 
seen a Hammond with " 'bout 60 o' them brown 'n white dojiggers"?  "Sheeeiiit, 
Ah ain't played the thang fo' 'bout twenny yeahs!  But it's a B3 fer sure." 

Down South (Florida) y'all get a show for your money!
