Re: B200



John:

The B-200 is a seventies vintage portable organ with Hammond's LSI
technology.  It is more like a Concord or B-3000 than today's sampled B3
clones.  It does not and will never sound as "B3 authentic" as most of the
new equipment currently available.  

The HL-822 Leslie used with this organ is electrically and functionally
identical to the  HL-722 (used with the B-3000), the 815 (a generic portable
model) and the 715 (in a standard wood finish cabinet).  All have the
old-style solid-state amps with interstage transformers and come up a bit
short in the "tone quality" department.

If the price is right, it's worth considering but it does not sound like a
tonewheel organ
