Bruce,

Interesting. I'm 30 years old, and I don't think that I've ever had
the opportunity to own a true Hammond & Leslie. I'm curious - with
inflation, do you feel that the price of a true B3/122 is about the
same as it always has been? I've noted that, on eBay at least, they
are running around $5,000. At one time within the past two years they
were at $10,000. I can't figure out the reason for this price
reduction...

Anyway, I read of a lot of people older than I am having actually
owned a console, and I'm just curious how. They seem so expensive.
So to summarize - have they always been that expensive?
