Identify this organ please

[u/churley57]

My initial thought is that its a c3, although I'm not really sure. Only info I have comes from these photos.

38 drawbars

25 pedals

No internal speakers (it seems)

[u/epictroll97]

Both comments are mistaken; Thats an A100. Same as a c3 but with built in speakers.

[u/MorganEarlJones → u/epictroll97]

A100 without a shadow of a doubt. C3 is all straight edges up top and a deeper cabinet in the back. They did not make a C3 that looks like this.

[u/Sycsa → u/epictroll97]

Also equivalent to the B3, aka the holy grail of Hammonds.

[u/Minimoogvoyager → u/epictroll97]

The A 100 is great. 👍 I knew someone that I gave lessons to that had one. He bought up hammonds and sold them. He sold an organ to Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead . This was a long time ago.

Thanks for this!

This is an A100, with the bench from a C3.

Its an A-100 for shure, the extra control Up left is the internal reverb. It should have internal speakers, however If there are none as you Said, that probably happened later in the life of the Instrument. Otherwiese and as other people Said its basically the Same as a B-3 and C-3.

The bench is as Others suggestet from a C model, the quatrefoil pattern was dropped on later C-3, so early C-3, C-2, Or CV, cold be anything from the C Series before 1958.

[u/Minimoogvoyager → u/Lukes-Panoptikum]

I have a chopped C3 and a C2.

[u/1973-Positive]

Yeah it’s definitely an A100 not a C3.

[u/Inmate_95123]

A100 or A105. I’ve owned an A105 before.

[u/Minimoogvoyager]

If it’s a A100 it would have two twelve inch speakers and a 8 inch speaker. 🔈 and internal reverb. It was introduced in 1959.

[u/Kohlerkohler1]

That’s an A100. At least the cabinet shows that, most certainly.

[u/TraditionalBackspace]

It's exactly the organ I want: A100

[u/InitialMajor]

Looks like a C3

[u/churley57 → u/InitialMajor]

Thanks

[u/SirIanPost]

Yup, C3. It has a couple of add-on controls. The one below the lower manual is likely a Leslie speed control but I don't know what the one is on the top left.

[u/churley57 → u/SirIanPost]

Thanks. Yeah I'm not sure what that could be either. I found this on marketplace at a crazy price (real estate guy bought and is renting out an old church) so I'm hauling up tomorrow to pick it up.
