Im amazed by the amount work they put into each organ if they had kept that up they would never have made a B3000 but i think the problem was no one knew those electronic circuits would be such a problem the auto makers went though the same thing in the 70s early 80s
@TheNorthernSoulKing That's how a hammond should sound, not necessarily the song choice, but with the rich, deep harmonies, and a wide range of expression.
Excellent video and new to me even as a former Hammond Organ dealer. To think these great instrument were invented and built right here in the USA up until CBS closed and sold them, ( I think to Suzuki sometime in the late 80's or 90's), primarily for the name.
Remember the technology--which is why so many still work today. An ELECTRIC organ...not electronic. But it was Don Leslie that gave the Hammond organ its real voice. Had Laurens Hammond not been so stubborn and proud...
I really want to dub the audio from the beginning to the docking scene in 2001 A Space Odyssey :) Awesome film about Hammond, btw, thanks for posting it!!!

Those tone wheel organs last forever! Any electronic organ by Hammond does not last as long and encounters many technical problems.
