Missing the Hammond/Leslie Today

I love the old Hammond console organs and Leslie speakers. I restored a 1959 A-100 (the same as a B3) and a Leslie 122. What a fantastic sound. Here's a clip of me messing around on the rig, which is now long gone.





This player just plays the same track over and over; again, it's nothing musical, and the fidelity is pretty bad (it's a small cassette recorder). But I had that thing sounding perfect. The tube amp in the 122 was the most gorgeous amp I have ever heard.
