That is very cool of you Gary. I just had to point that out to the group, that is the essence of what it means to be a gentleman.
I am very sorry though that another signifigant other mas made you stuff into "junk, eyesore etc". Every time I see a frilly pillow I wonder what am i sleeping with ?

Congratulations Fritz- I love those M3's- you could drop them off a
battleship, retreive them months later , dry them off and they would still
play (something I heard Hammond actually did). Maybe in the future you can
get the foldback mod on the upper register and it will be in essence a B3

A couple months ago I could have picked up a Leslie branded organ with 122 unit, but was flat broke. :( Would love to pick up a Hammond or better yet, a Mellotron. I don't think there are any left undiscovered in California, certainly not the Central Valley, but I keep scouring anyway.

You  might want to try a little heat from a heat gun (be careful) and then 
slide a  thin blade under them to work them loose.

Hi Fritz,
 
It looks great!
 
Here is the M103 I picked up Saturday.
