Surplus Hammonds

 

Here in Southern Saskatchewan I have in an unused church, 4 tone wheel organs for which there seem to be no future owners here on the prairies. M2, and two L100 plus a L100 that is not operational. There is also a M3 in Saskatoon. Tonewheels and electronics have not been touched since new to my knowledge.
The local church I attend also uses an M3 which they have had since new and which I have maintained for about 15 years. They have withstood the test of time.
The house next door is trying to dispose of an XTP which was played by family members for many years. Not much interest shown there. These are all for taking away. Comments appreciated. Gordon, VE5UJ

I'd come and get them, but Lake Superior is in the way!

I'm in similar situation. I'd be interested in the M3 but its a two day trip and I don't know how well it would do in the back of an open pickup
 

Thankyou to the group members for the interest and replies. I hope to see the M3 join the "stable" during the summer and if anything changes, I will leave a note on this list.
I plan to do a re-cap and cleaning on one or two units during the coming winter. The M2 and M3 will have three wire power cords and fused primary wiring when I am finished. The XTP will remain in it's present healthy state. I check this list every week.
regards,
Gordon.

It is quite a while since I made the list of organs needing new homes.? One M3? and one L100? still operational.? The M2s need work. As far as I can determine, the mechanical parts are fine though needing oil.? Capacitors would be the main job to get them back to life. A one ton van would likely haul all of them although some disassembly would be required. The XTP has gone to a good home locally. That leaves 2 M2s, 1 M3, and 2 L100s although only one is operational.?
I expect no money for these and could only arrange for manpower to load them.? I am past the lifting stage.? I do have a new location for them beginning this summer as the building owner needs them gone.? I do have another dedicated waterproof building on the farm to keep them for now.? There are also a couple of smaller transistorized organs that do not work but have plenty of useful parts.
Thanks for reading, Gord, VE5UJ
