[GreenKeys] Happy New Year and off-topic post

[John Lawson]

  Greetz Greenkeyers and Happy Teletypery in '25!
I've resolved to get on the air more - my gear (Mod 15 and Dovetron; laptop with FLDIGI) are lonely and feeling abandoned....

OFF TOPIC -  shameless post: But ya never know who's listening - I'll give it a try.

I'm in Northern Nevada - east of Carson City
One of my other time-and-money sinks is music/keyboards/MIDI/etc.  Been playing since I was 6 (60+ years) - have lots of Gear, 'pro' studio, etc.  Among this are 4 Hammond Organs:  a B3, an M111, a BC, and a CV.

The CV is Hammond's mid-40s full-size liturgical (church) organ - CV is "Model C + Vibrato". This instrument has an accompanying  Hammond PR40 tone cabinet - the main and reverb channels live in it. It is NOT a Leslie. The organ's power comes from this as well, so it is required. It is the same generator and vibrato as the B3, but no percussion and the vibrato cannot be split between keyboards.

I wish to restore my 1936 BC (B model with Chorus generator) and need the space.

I'm offering the CV Free To Good Home.  I have a couple of pics to send privately, off-list.

  It will fit in a cargo van, pickup truck, small trailer, etc.  It's a full-size Hammond, and it and the PR40 together are above 500 pounds. I'll prep it for moving and show you how to unlock it. I'm 72 and my heavy-lifting days are gone forever...  ;} I did get it in the house a couple of years ago -  somehow. [Hell I got the B3 into my studio by myself. (Somehow...)]  I have schematics and docs for it. It is 2 manual, and has a radiating but non-concave full pedal clavier. It has the matching bench. All in all it's in pretty good shape, considering.  I'd say about an 8/10. Starts fine; works well; sounds good.

NOTE: It is NOT a B3. I have a B3. B3 stays here. I intend to be buried with it.

If interested get in touch here and we'll move the convo private.
