A-100 Semi Chop

1959
Hammond A-100
The first year they were made

Notes:

This is like a mini B3. 5" narrower in depth and no more removing doors when used as a gig organ. Also with a few more mods to the cab, this could be a road warrior or rental organ. For the home, this size will go into places where a B or C won't go. Starting at the end, here is the finished organ.
