*NOTE for AV, BV, BCV, CV, DV, RT and Model 5 console organs: These instruments require normally to be used in conjunction with an external Tone cabinet / Leslie, as the organ's pre-amplifier mounted inside the organ console is actually powered by the externally attached tone cabinet or Leslie. This means: Above line out adapter will have to be connected to the Leslie extension output connector at the tone cabinet / Leslie (usually 5 pin, so purchase the 5 pin adapter). If wishing to operate the organ stand alone without a tone cabinet or Leslie attached (or if you don't have a Leslie/ Tone Cabinet), these organs will require a power supply to be installed and added to the organ. Once installed, the organ will work stand alone and the Line output adapter can be plugged directly into the 6 pin Tone Cabinet / Leslie out jack on the organ. Perfect for CV or RT rigs with a motion sound cabinet. Below a picture of a power supply kit, which I custom crafted by hand with point to point wiring for a client. My power supplies start at $125 (below shown "vintage" unit is higher in price)
Power supply kit for AV, BV, BCV, CV, DV, RT models to allow "stand alone" operation of the organ without the need to connect an external tone cabinet / Leslie connected to it. Inquire
Add a Vintage Tube Amplified LESLIE
To any Organ - or Guitar Amplifier! Fully Refurbished w/ complete Control / Installation Kit + Leslie Cable!
Description: This Hammond A-102 console Organ is it: It is the mecahnism of a full Hammond B3 in a home edition case that could not be more beautiful! The A-series adds a 2 chanel internal tube amplifier system with reverb.
This unit is a model A-102 The A-102 offers the Queen Ann design style. It was most likely made in 1962.
Condition: Excellent. All works excellently and sounds amazing! The vibrato scanner has been recently overhauled and the generator was lubricated and the keybpard contacts in good condition. Most of the tubes are original "Hammond" branded which were made in Europe.
Cosmetics: 8-9/10 (10 if it was not for minor scratches that were infliceted by transporting the unit in som epoint of it's journey.)
Lot: Organ, fully tubed with foot tpedal assembly. Protective top cover. No bench (check below listed console organ bench, whcih if re-painted may work!). Item located in California, USA, near Chico, CA - 2.5 hrs. from SF Bay Area, 1 hr. from Sacramento, CA.
Price: $ 2550 for lot as above. Buyer pays freight / transportation charges or to come pick up from CA, Chico area, (CA - 2.5 hrs. from SF Bay Area, 1 hr. from Sacramento,). Delivery a possibility if paid for. Feel free to contact me for more detail. ,
Features: Since there is a lot of information on the B3 out on the web already, I will elaborate on some of the less known and detailled features of the B3 / A-100. The unit has 2 sets of 9 Drawbars per manual (4 sets total). The drawbars can acessed for play by pressing the last 2 highest preset keys. The Bass pedal has 2 Draw bars. Besides the 2 drawbar presets, each manual has 10 presets. These are in factory configuration, but can be programmed by hardware setups - one would screw connector cables to a panel. Other features of the B3 / A-100 are: 61 keys per manual (5 full octaves), a percussion system which puts a one-shot decay enevelope over the highest harmonics. Percussion on the B3 can only be assigned to the upper manual (swell) when using the highest preset / drawbar setting. The percussion system offers these function switches: on/off, Percussion volume: soft/normal, Percussion Decay: Fast/Slow, Percussion Harmonic Selector: Third harmonic/second harmonic. When percussion is active the last 2 highest draw-bars ar einactive, as percussion "steals" th evoices from this circuit. There is a Chorus/vibration circuit which is controlled by a rotating knob. It offers: Vibrato 1-3 and Chorus 1-3; There is a seperate control for reverberation, which regulates the volume of the reverbration amplifier, which by the way is a second amplifier to create a true stereo effect. The organ also offers to add or cancel vibrato for each manual and it offers to switch the organ volume to soft or normal. This is the B3 / A-100 in a nutsell. Check out some more information on the A-100 series on "captain foldbak's" website.
Plese free to contact me for questions you might have. I can also modifiy this Organ to be used with a Leslie of your Choice.

Hammond and Leslie Technical Info
Baldwin Orgasonic Vintage Tube Organ w/ Leslie and Touch Sensitive keys!
1960's USA Hand Made
Described in Detail HERE!
Description: This vintage US made tube amplified Leslie was made under license from Electromusic by Baldwin, likely in the late 50's / early 60's. Quite an accumulation of truly vintage equipment: The Leslie tone cabinet features a dual 6L6 tube amplifier, which features a tube rectifier, the cabinet includes a nice quality original vintage 12" speaker, the woooden rotror baffle, and the same standard motor used in all Leslie cabinets. This item consitis of the amplified tone cabinet, but also includes the whol ekit and everything needed, to add Lelslie capbilitires to any organ (or even guitar amplifier !): There is an original 29' Leslei connection cable (6 pin), a set of two white colored "half moon" switches and the hardware to connect these parts to an organ: a hardware box to which the half moon switchedes connect, and a power adapter that will bring power to the whole kit.
Here more detail to deepen understanding: In a standard Leslie rig turning on the power of the organ will bring power to the Leslie to power the amplifier and the motor. There are the famous "half moon" control switches, of which one turns the leslie effect on (and off -labeled as: tremolo on/off) by enabeling the motor to run (relay controlled). The other half moon switch is known as the " MEE switch", which means and is labeled as: Main, Echo, Ensemble. This allows to direct the audio signal either to the organ internal sepaker only (main), to the Leslie only (Echo) or to both Leslie and Organ (Ensemble). All the needed hardware is included here to facilitate these functions almost for any organ. Hook-up is not really rocket scienece: basically the organ needs to provide switched AC power (= tunrs on / and off with the power switch of the organ) and the organ needs to provide a loudspeaker signal to the Leslie and to it's internal loudspeker. The Leslie kit will allow to switch the organ internal lodspeaker off - that is basically all there is to it. The included "half moon" switches are designed to easly mount to any organ - incerneath the keyboard facing the front of the organ with 2 screws each. For guitar amplifier usage the basics are similar: the guitar amplfier needs to provide a speaker level signal (tapped of the speaker - any guitar amp as little as 5Watts will do. To install / wire up the power/control hardware will be somewhat more involved, as the guitarist prefers to control with footswitches instead of the included half-moon switches, but I will glad to build the additional hardware (at additional cost) Add truly vintage Leslie sound and vintage Leslie hardware to whatever yoru music right might be - modern or vintage - I can help! The Leslie Tone cabinet and the amplifier are fully refurbished with a quality detail oriented overhaul job (details beliow) - performing to original specifications and ready to perform reliably for dcades.
This unit resembles similarities to the Leslie 125.

Work performed to restore this unit to original specifications: Complete tear down: all mechanical parts (including the speaker) were cleaned, and metal surfces refurbished: light surface oxidisation due to age was removed form all metal parts, re-packing of the bearings and replacment of needed rubber parts. The unit runs quiet, smoothly and was restored for long term trouble free and reliable perormance.

(complete Leslie Kits sell usually in the $300-$350 without a leslie cable)
I can help to adapt this Leslie to your specific situtation (at additional cost)
Cosmetics and physical condition: overall: excellent. 8-9/10. There is one issue with the wood of the tone cabinet: the left front foot appears to have sat in water and has signs of darkening and paint has pealed off - leg is strong but would need re-work to be perfect. Varnish od the cabinet has the usual signs of ages (desirable), but is in great condition. All else excelent and the unit looks great . Will happy to describe in more detail / photos, if needed. All works perfectly without any flaws.

Price: $875.00
Alternatives:
1) If wishing for a Leslie for guitar: I am in the process of custom modifying a guitar amplifier to provide a Leslie output and foot pedal motor control to allow to directly connect to this Leslie to the amplifer providing the device needed to plug your instrument (synth as well) into "the Leslie". This menas the here included Leslie kit will not be needed, but the amplifier will be added, which can be done at a lower cost.
2) Alternatively: I can evaluate, if I can modify your guitar amplifer in a similar way, so that you can just purchse the Leslie without the kit.
3) I have another Leslie for guitar amplifier, or for your keyboard amplifer with foot pedal control here.
If you want a Leslie for your instrument contact me as I may be able to provide the solution you need, or negotiate about the item described above.
