Hi everyone! I own a 1966 B3. I bought it 30 years ago and I had no idea what I was buying. A few years later, I found out about the foam issues that some owners were having. All was good for me except for one day a technician came to move the buss bars and told me about the one problem note on the lower manual. It didn’t bother me at all being the amateur that I am. To me, it still sounds good right there now but then, ?I am thinking maybe it’s time I take this thing in for a good overall. Afterall, she is 55+ years old and there is this 20 year time span where I have absolutely no clue where/who owned it and what was done to her mechanically or technically inside.

?

I am looking to take it down to the United States where there are lots of techniciens. However, which ones are the reputable ones? Here in Canada, techies are far and few between and many are hobbyists. Not what I would be looking for to care for my gal. There is only one place, Keyboard Exchange Intl, who advertise selling organs and guarantees them “foam free” but they are way down in Florida. If anyone in this group has had defoaming work done on their Hammond in the USA, I appreciate your input good or bad. ?

Cheers,

JD
