The AO-28 preamp does have an RCA phono input, I've never used it though. It could come in handy when doing an A/B comparison b/t the vintage organ and a new clonewheel organ.

I'm just taking a wild guess here, but I'd say maybe Laurens Hammond stuck that phono input on there so you could add an external audio device and play along with a song (whatever they had in the 30's and 40's). Since that was the time when Hammonds were distributed with a tone cabinet (stationary speakers) that would probably be a logical guess.

I have did this before. I ran my XP10 through the B3. There was a little noise but it sounded alright. Only problem I had was that our leslies do not completely stop so when you are playing piano sound it wavers. But it does sound nice to have your GM organ sounds running through a real leslie. I would probaby only use it to run organ sounds from an external keyboard.
