Odd thing about organs is most of the ones you run up against aren't old enough to be of any value. I bought an M100 spinet expecting to salvage it for parts (60.00). These are great 6v6 amps with great iron. Trouble was it sounded too cool to kill. So I bought another organ with a burnt out transformer along with a leslie (smaller outfit the 125 model). The M100 is serving my church whenever a song needs that Hammond /leslie soul color. Synthesizers don't come close to an even small leslie sound. The burnt out Hammond that came with the leslie is a Fender vibrochamp with the power tubes in parallel. Total cost 260.00 for the whole package. Organs can be a lot of fun. Cool thing about the Estey organ company is they bought Magnatone and made the magnatone esteys for a number of years. very cool sounding things.
