Hammond B400 - info and advice please

[Guest]

Hi there</P>


I work for a CommunityRegeneration Charity in South Wales in the UK and a local clubhave a Hammond B400 they want to get rid of. It looks like its in very good condition, flightcased and with a Leslie.</P>


However, there doesnt seem to be a huge amount of information on this (apparently mid-eighties and midi)model on the internet. Just wondering how they compare to other organs? I'm assuming its not got that classicB3 sound? I am a guitarist in a band playing Dylan &amp; The Band/Springsteen-ish stuff so am genuinely interested but our keyboard player didnt know much either.</P>


Is there much interest in these organs? What could it be worth? </P>


Hoping you guys can help me ;)</P>

Link below with bit more info, b400 dates from about 1984/85, one last old hammonds, leslie probably smaller 310/312 model think with b400, not as good as bigger models.</P>

Value wise if working ok leslie if smaller model probably worth £100-£150, organ rare so hard to value but probably couple hundred. Not bad sounding hammond, not tonewheel but still a hammond/leslie cost thousands when new so as David Dickinson would say, bit of bargain if can buy cheaply!</P>
