I wonder if he would just be intrigued by a modern clone and take it apart to learn how it worked.

No, I think Mr. Hammond would just be angry that someone synthesized his product. No matter what players want to believe, Laurens Hammond a) wasn't a musician, and b) was rumored to be tone-deaf. (He certainly claimed to hear no difference between a Hammond tone cabinet and a Leslie Speaker.) He was a motor designer; the Hammond Organ was simply the most successful vehicle for his invention.
