@HammondDirk Thank you very much for your reply. Why did the organs come with the Leslie witch if it doesn't belong to the organ?

thanks for the info. I'm sure the Leslie makes all of the difference.

@Jasperagus What I use is pretty standard: Upper: 88 8000 000 with 3rd harmonic percussion and 88 8000 008, later on I'm just shuffling a bit. Lower: 8600 000 (or something similar). In good condition, the L-100 sound pretty similar to a B-3, just missing the scanner vibrato and foldback in the higher registers.
By the way: the Leslie (I have a new 3300) adds a lot of body to the sound and tend to emphasis the key click.

What were your drawbar settings? I can never seem to get cool new sounds out of my organ (L112). I know this is nothing like a B3, what I can't even get close. If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears :-)
i just saved one of these out of the garbage today! an l-112, the wood is beat and has no speakers, but the inerts look complete w/ all tubes! SCORE!

Isn't that an L100? the L122 has the Leslie switch located at the right of the upper manual if I'm not wrong. Great playing anyway, thumbs up!

@MrOzzyIommi Thanks! It's an L-112, the only difference between de L-112 and the L-122 is the style of the casing, the L-112 doesn't have the legs. They're both from the L-100 series.
And the Leslie switch doesn't belong to the organ (Hammond and Leslie were in fact battling companies at the time this organ was built), it's mounted at the front wooden bar, you can mount it anywhere you want. I might once move it more to the right, because that's more comfortable to play.

@HammondDirk SORRY, I don't know why I did some huge writing mistakes here. I meant, why did the organs come with the Leslie switch if it didn't belong to them?

@MrOzzyIommi They didn't come with a Leslie switch, not even with a connector for the Leslie. You had to buy and install a connector kit to connect the Leslie, they included the switch. I once got an old switch, and with some components I got with the Leslie I made my own "connector kit", but with an original switch. By the way, it is actually a "Main - Ensemble - Echo"-switch, not a speed switch, but who cares :-P.
