The M and L series, made from 1961 till I believe 1971-72...did not sound like the B-3's at all..They were a lot different..as I recall..
Fisher used an M-102 for AWSOP, and many, many people believed it was a B-3 being played, so they must be pretty similar in sound.
I had an M-3 for awhile before I splurged on the B-3 (and a second Leslie), and only for the shorter staggered 44 note manuals, it sounded and felt like playing my B-3.
The M-100 series was identical, except they had six presets and reverb (the M-3 had neither),and they didn't have waterfall keys like the M-3 and B-3.
The L-100 series differed much more...I didn't like the sound.
