Yeah, that's it in a nutshell. After the big pieces "now I gotta get the pedals" The real deal. Good luck in all you do!

[@offaxisdude]

i do not miss those days at all....i use a roland vk-8 .....works great ! you are very productive and highly motivated sir !

[@prof.t.c.pfeiler1280]

Thank you! Today available Hammond-clones sound pretty good but nothing can replace the old electro-magnetic originals 100%. After more than 40 years on the road with Hammond fullsize consoles (B3, C3) it was time to get this very comfortable transportation system in 2019 at age 61.

A nice one-man operation ! (#95159)B3

Is the organ just sitting on that rolling platform, or is is bolted to it?
I noticed another platform that you unloaded, is that for the pedals and bench, raising them up to the level of the organ on wheels?

[@prof.t.c.pfeiler1280]

It is bolted to the rolling platform. Check our newest loading and unloading video to watch how it works. ua-cam.com/video/SOM2ds8ZAXo/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Prof.T.C.Pfeiler I am on the road with fullsize Hammonds since 1977 and hate to lift organs from dollies but also dislike Roll-Or-Kari.

This is the most elegant and practical solution for moving a B3 and Leslie I've ever seen. If I might ask: How much was the van including the lift?

[@prof.t.c.pfeiler1280]

Go to RICON and Chevrolet homepages of your home country and add some hundered bucks for assembeling....

@@prof.t.c.pfeiler1280 Thanks a lot :-)! By the way: That '57 B3 is a real beauty! I really enjoy those early B3s as well as C2/B2s because many of those have an amazing sounding Scanner Chorus.

[@prof.t.c.pfeiler1280]

@@hammondvoodoo9555 I also prefer early models because of their amazing sounding vibrato and "wooden" percussion "plop" (1955 - to ca. 1958 B3/C3)

[@LiberaceProtege]

But how do you get the organ console off of the rolling case bottom? Must need two people, right?

[@prof.t.c.pfeiler1280]

The organ is screwed tight on the dolly. On stage (with bass pedals and bench) it looks like this: facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10224524172185733&set=pob.1050893554 If there are steps to reach the bandstand the concert organizer must provide four roadies.
