I play a B3 at the church and I currently am looking for an organ. But I'm a poor college kid. I really want a A-105. If anyone feels led of God to give me one, open up the floodgates of heaven and LET IT RAIN!!! ;)


WOW...I love this guy...he just doesn't ask, he asks with specificity !!...not just a hammond, not just an a-100...but an A105 ??...lol.  I LOVE the A-105, tis one of the few consoles that I have not owned....and here in the midwest I've not seen tons of them, of course mechanically they are no different the than a B3,C-3,A-100.....but I've always liked the novelty of the A-100 in a C-3 cabinet.  In college I stayed with a pastor who had basically an RT3 with internal tone cabinet, but I'm very tall, and dont like the concave concert pedals (i think its the D-152 ???  check that)....maybe someday I'll get around to purchasing one for me (A105), a X-77 for my wifes living room decor, and an additonal X77 as the recording organ for Marcus at the Midiroom

An A-105 Would be my first choice. And I'm also open to donations :D
From what I understand, A-105's are rare.  I'm not sure how many were made but they didn't produce them for very long.

Yeah, its a D-152.

I just think its the perfect organ, You get the features of an A100, like the internal speakers and Reverb, And you get the looks of a C3 Cab. If I had one, I'd get it refinished like this. Then i'd have Sebastian Wheat "hot rod" it ;D

I've never been a fan of the C3 to be honest with you.  As much as I love my A-100, I never use the internal speakers.  I remember when I bought it and I didn't have the Leslie hooked up yet.  I pretty much hate the internal speakers (yes I know hate is a strong word)

Sometimes I like to have a straight sound. But a leslie with a Stop function would probaly be better than than the internals.

I played an A100 once a few years ago and the internal speakers aren't that loud. In the Ensemble position, the Leslie completely drowns out the speakers.

I guess it's always good to have options.  Sometimes I do like the sound of the horn stopped while the lower rotor spins.   
RMS is right, the internal speakers aren't that loud.  I just disabled the internal amp and run the Leslie only.

How about at a baseball game?    :D
  That`s right!  They ARE installed in stadiums(Shay for instance), also in rollerskating rinks.  When I was a teenager in the `60s, the competition said that about ALL Hammond organs; that because their sound was associated with the entertainment industry, they were UNFIT to be installed in a church.  Our church recieved a giant new Conn organ with antiphonal electronic pipes and Leslies, in a custom installation.  The Co. reps. came by to see what was wrong with it, and said "with reverence", that it was good that a Hammond hadn`t been installed instead.  The Catholics know something about reverence; there`s an RT-3 with 6 PR-40s installed in St. Pauls at the Vatican that they use everyday.  It`s all in the way the organ is played of course.  The Xs, and the H-series organs are more theater oriented; however, running multiple Leslies with speed  controled seperately, and with Hammond speakers while using the appropriate registrations, can produce a very convincing Gospel sound.  With all the clones and new ways of re-inventing the Hammond around, it`s just a matter of time until the "other" models (re-invented by Hammond) come into their own.  I would love to hear Dennis Montgomery III play "He Touched Me" on my X-66 with a model 12 and two Leslie 122s!  Variety is the spice of life however, and with Hammonds there`ll always be plenty of that.  As soon as you get one, you want to make changes....
