Hammond A100 with Leslie 147

The Hammond A100 is the living room brother of the famous B3. It also has its own speakers and reverb. This one’s from 1964  and its mated with a rebuild Leslie 147. The outside looks good, but is not mint.  There’s some blemishes. Both have a full package 4 rebuild and an OFF position for the Leslie motors. 

Combined with a beautiful Leslie 147 this is a real killer combi! The following has been done to to ensure perfect functionality:
