Is that even a thing? I can't find info about it.
Looks like an L 100, M100 or T 100 model. Do not believe Hammond produced an N model. I picked up an A100 for $180 at a thrift shop because the help refused to move these heavy organs. I have 2 M3 ($20 &$40)a BV($120) and C3 ($350) with smooth draw bars. There are deals out there in the local classifieds. As Structo mentioned guys are parting these out , where I'm trying to restore. But to each there own I guess :? A neighbor down the street has an H100, I'm getting friendly :wink: I think your $125 can do better. There are old tube radios I'd rather see transformed. Good luck!

I think I ended up paying $90 for mine.
If I had to do it over again I would not buy the organ amp.
I ended up not using most of it and the chassis was too long so I had to cut and fold one end.

If I was to do it over again I would look for an old PA or other utility amp that uses 6L6 or 6V6 tubes and go from there.
Like some of those old cage amps.

Don't let that smoke out!

After have stripped on organ down and bought the A0-35 chassis off ebay I am done with wrecking organs for parts. I had to see what all the fuss was about and it is better to leaven them be and start with a blank chassis and work from there.
