Hammond Model AV / B3 Chop Serial # 801 With Metal Stand And Lots Of Upgrades !!  

This is the first model organ Hammond made.  It has been upgraded with vibrato which makes it a model AV. It has also been upgraded with smooth edge keys, smooth drawbars, Trek II percussion, B+ kit, and is ready to run dual Leslie 147 speakers with a 1/2 moon switch, or the volume pedal can be used as 1/4" output. It also comes with an Alesis Microverb II reverb kit. (not the best sounding reverb but gives a good overdrive sound, I am including it to show that you can hook up anything you want with 1/4" jack even when using the Leslie speaker) Basicly because of all the upgrades, it is as close to a B3 as you can get, it even has the same housing but a little smaller which makes a good chop. Busbars have been cleaned and all key contacts have been checked. Scanner has been rebuilt and is good for many years. This organ has been fully tested and works perfect.  The metal stand and volume pedal are included.  Cosmetically in very nice condition, all I can find are some light nics and marks. The Leslie half moon switch has a small split on the front but does not affect the switch. I try my hardest not to hide anything so please review the pictures thoroughly.
