My old Hammond C3 (and 122 Leslies). Haven't had it for years but at one point in my life, it was the one and only and we were joined at the hip. I'll probably pick up a Nord C1 when I get around to it (not the same but at 31 lbs, preferable to a real "B" or "C" at this time). Next would be my Baldwin Grand (it's only second because I have a Yammy console to help ease the pain).

Ian, you are correct...every step of the way..they have upgraded....Maybe I don't miss what I had compared to what I have....But I always like to go back and replay the oldies....most of the time[after I re purchased a model]...I ask myself , "why did I want this"..again...

All said though it would be cool to have them all in a "Big house" like Russ has...

Tim, that version2 VA-7 was a sleeper..One of the best arrangers...It had many great features...for me it lacked a "biggie" though...61 keys instead of 76...[ same reason, I parted with the DisCover5 and E-600]..

I would like to buy all of your well cared keyboards...always perfect.

Have anything for sale?

Believe it or not, I did donate the little M-100 I played at a house job during my college years to a little country church, along with a 147 when I could finally afford a new B-3. I recently bought and restored a 1949 M, but the old 100 has a lot of sentimental value (and a lot of brandy spilled inside it). Believe it or not, it's still being used at this little church (I gave it to them in 1975), and I get to stop by and visit it occasionally.

As a matter of fact, Fran, I still want to sell my PSR3000, but I am afraid you wouldn't agree to my price of $850.

Tim,
I'll trade you two hogs and a hen for it and just because I'm in such a good mood I'll throw in a gallon of pappy's home brew

My B-3 and 147 Leslie just last year. So big and heavy, but oh so sweet.

I learned how to play on an M 100 that we had at home and an old clunker upright piano with broken strings, ect. Those were the days. My first church job at age 15 had a C 3 and a 147. I used to go over there during the week and really make it wail. My first gigging board was a Farfisa and I don't remember the model but it was a single keyboard.

Hi Tim,
KN7000 first & foremost.
Next, VA7, mainly because I didn't really give it a fair go.
I bought the VA7 secondhand from a friend to help him out, 2 weeks later my KN7 arrived, and unfortunately I never really gave the VA7 a second glance.
best wishes
