Moderator note: I'm merging the information from two threads on this to remove the confusion. The original poster, Gordon James, is the seller.
For sale:
Hammond BV cabinet with 1961 A100 manuals and amp that looks and sounds exactly like a B-3 that would cost 3x as much. Comes complete with: orange caps, up-stop felts for lightning fast action, bench, pedals, Leslie 251 Speaker to "Dopplerize" the listener, Roll-or-Kari, padded moving covers, extra tubes, Hammond Oil, maintenance manuals and a whole lotta soul built in. There ain't nothin' like drivin' a B-3. Located in Western North Carolina for P/U

It's not....not a B3.Jon Kostal wrote:B3 with Leslie??
It's a BV Cabinet with A-100 Internals Which are mechanically identical to a B3.
It'd be like upgrading a Roadrunner with the Engine and cosmetics of a Superbird
Does it look like a Roadrunner? Yes
Does it have the guts of a roadrunner? Yes
Should it be called a Superbird? Probably not without a caveat....
Jon I wish I was closer to where I live!

B3 with a Leslie Speaker
As you can see by the pictures, at least it is not that gawd-awful orange color.

I was just telling my friend that I miss my old BV I had which was one of the last ones they made.Gordon James wrote:As you can see by the pictures, at least it is not that gawd-awful orange color.

If you were near Chicago where I'm at, that thing would be gone, and quick. Your price is more than fair for what you have. I hope it sells!

I'd love to try one, but they're beyond expensive for a full kit dual manual. The technology is really cool, but hard to justify when you can get the real deal for a fraction of what they're asking for one.Mark Robinson wrote:Anyone here have any experience with the Hammond XK-5?
It’s supposed to be the closest reproduction of the B3 Tonewheel organ.
I have a Nord C1 with a Neo Ventilator and it's a pretty darn good imitation that I can throw in the car and haul around. I use it for recording parts for people and haven't had any complaints yet!

Xk-5
I will admit that the NEO Ventilator is the best "Leslie-In-A-Box" out there. Run it through the mains and peeps can't tell the difference. "B" players are not only playing the organ but the Leslie too. Fun stuff.
