Hammond tube organ

[gregd]

There's a Hammond tube organ at the Good will,cheap.I didn't get a model but it has a huge transformer and lots of tubes.Is this sort of thing useful to anyone?

Could be. Some Hammond organs can bring a good price. JR

Hammond tonewheel organs are quite desirable in the music world. They have a unique sound that nothing else quite captures, except possibly the newer Yamaha B3 synthesizer. If the switch on it has an off, start, and run position, with start being a momentary spot, theres a fair chance its a tonewheel model. On those you'd hold it in start for a second to get the motor rolling and release it to the run position.

Yes, probably useful but tagging onto the two previous post, do not tear into one of these until you know the model and desirability. Several old Hammond organs are worth well more complete than they are for their parts.
