Compman, It's plain and simple. The truth of the matter is that this is what many chop-monsters do in order to feed their insatiable appetites. They knowingly disturb many hammond organ collectors and enthusiasts, the chop-monster briefly shed a few tears, mourns and then get busy pulling the components they so desperately desire, and with the prize they sought at hand, they finalize the chop-fest with the obligatory ritualistic sledge hammer crescendoed finale . I myself plead guilty to such horrific acts. There is a good side to this type of creative activity. Some Hammond cabinets I have seen have been so warped out that on one particular occasion, I actually saw a twisted amp chassis. This is what a lot of AudioKarma members do so there is nothing wrong with salvaging and repurposing amp components for a new build as long as it's cabinet is beyond repair. It's a great start for the novice and can be a creative challenge for those into repurposed maximized rebuilds, Thus having a bolstered up (SuperCharged) old relic to show off. From what I have read, many people have great success and achieve promising results with these types of amps. If you've got the time, their ain't no crime.
