Bill,
I hope all is well. I've run my Leslie 145 through its paces, and I couldn't be happier. It sounds awesome!! The Leslie speed change is exactly how I wanted it, the Leslie is clean and looks great, the amp can go from warm and smooth all the way up to a heavy crunch, and in general it's really fun and rewarding to play. I will have no problem getting into the mix with this beautiful piece.
I'd like to thank you guys for treating me with so much respect, and helping me through the sale. I can guarantee that down the road I will be a 'Northern Chop,' customer, and plan on coming to you for any Hammond modifications or repairs.

Bill,
The Leslie arrived Friday and was immediately put to use last night. I can't tell you how pleased I am with the 3300--it was the hit of the night with all the musicians; I've already adjusted the rotor speeds to my personal preferences, and having the tube overdrive is really a plus. The pictures show me last night at Southside Johnny's in Colorado Springs with my blues road rig, which is the XK-2, a midi controller for the piano or second tier XK-2 (whichever I need at the moment), and Yamaha sound module with everything feeding through a mixer to the 3300.
Thanks so much for your great sales, service and support over the years!

Custom M143
Bill,
I used some of you're creations I saw on the internet as a model to build this one. PS. I paid $7.50 for the M143 at a thrift store. They couldn't start it.
Thanks, Russ Blair
