Pricing Hammond A101
I inherited a Hammond A101 with pedals, a Leslie 45 with amplifer in it, 4 boxes of parts and cords. I think it's in good condition but it hasn't been played in a couple of years. I've been offered $1000. I'm on the West Coast where I guess they don't sell well. Should I take the offer?

Around here, a Leslie that has been cleaned up and serviced is probably worth $1000 alone. But.... if it's been sitting in a closet for years, it could be quite a few hours of labor to clean it up and service it. The A101 isn't worth much, which I don't understand because it's a great instrument. The Leslie is probably worth a good bit more than the organ is. I would think $1000 for the set is reasonable since you're selling something in unknown condition that is going to need a lot of service because it can be played. If you want to get it cleaned up you could get a good bit more money out of it, but do you want to do that? Oh... and.... PLEASE don't turn it on without oiling the motor and tone generator first! People get these things out of closets, turn them on, and burn the motor windings up because the motors can't take any slip. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

I've been offered $1000. We used to own the original B3 from Santana. We carted that heavy bugger and its Leslie all over the US. Always worked great, but it played "Black Magic Woman" every time we started it up. Yours truly, Mr. Klay Anderson, D.A.,Q.B.E. Klay Anderson Audio, Inc. |

But.... if it's been sitting in a closet for years, it could be quite a few hours of labor to clean it up and service it. I agree with Scott. My Dad left behind a big (Hammond?) organ with two tier keyboard and Leslie, all in one piece, but continually needed service, mainly electrical contacts. Jack The A101 isn't worth much, which I don't understand because it's a great instrument. The Leslie is probably worth a good bit more than the organ is.

I've been offered $1000. I'm on the West Coast where I guess they don't sell well. Should I take the offer? 1. I'll buck against the trend here and say that I don't think a Leslie 45 is really going to bring that much. You more typically see the 122, 145, 147 going around, and yes they are valuable. About 3-4 years ago I sold a 1969 122 for $1800. 2. Regarding the organ, I think it really depends on the condition. If it's in good condition, I would think it would fetch a good bit more than $1000. But that's just my opinion. -- Randy Yates Digital Signal Labs http://www.digitalsignallabs.com |

Klay, your response makes me want to oil it and fire it up. Who knows what we'd hear? Thanks again |
