Subject:Re: Trek Percussion

Well,
After responding to the local calssified ad that said "Hammond B-2
and Leslies - Great condition $1000" the nice gentleman said he was
the original owner and that Don Leslie had given him the the leslie
and the organ was played a total of 40 hours! I dropped what I was
doing and ran over there. Well..... it was an E100 with no external
leslie. The man was bummed that I wasn't taking it and he was
willing to give it to me. I felt bad, but I have limited space (I
live in Southern California) and explained to him that I collect B
series organs. I am going to find a school or charity that can make
good use of this and take it off his hands as he is moving in 6
weeks. Plus he's a real nice elderly gentleman and I want to help.

I really thought this was that one that was sittiing and waiting for
me to take off this guys hands. I thought I had found the jewel. Oh
well back to panning for gold!

Thanks guys for the responses!!!

Albert
