My experience is sort of like Fran's. It literally took me about two years to GIVE AWAY a C2 (predecessor to the C3) even with a 122 thrown in. Both were in good working condition although 10 years of gigging it clearly showed on the exterior. I even threw in those old side-strapped oak movers that altogether made the whole rig weigh in at about 317 tons. It's no wonder so many players migrated so quickly to synths. Any way, good luck with the restoration. One of the musicians on the Big Island (Hawaii) had a chopped (as in "portable") B3 that I came dangerously close to buying just before we moved from there. Thank God I came to my senses .
