Russ,
The B-3 I'm using, is a mint '58, with a 122 Leslie.
The 122 is fine for non-bass pedal, no LH bass (we have a terrific bass player) and the 147's are best for bass work.
I used to have two Leslie 147RV (the ones with reverb).
You don't play a Hammond B-3...you "ride" it....I'm sure you know what I mean.
You are sure lucky to have all that vintage stuff to play....and no headaches (or backaches).
Yep, you are sentimental...I'm more semi-mental....ha ha.
Ian
