Are pre-war (ie:BC) manual busbars interchangeable with B3/C3?

    I think there were two or more types of 3 series busbar Tom, just to complicate things. I don't know any more than that.

      Thanks Dave, I sure don't want to make any assumptions about such hard to reach parts 8)

        If your "-3" series organ has the flat busbars, then yes they are. But, as Dave said...there were different iterations of busbars later on, so you would need to know what you have prior to trying. I have a few sets of BBs from older organs I keep as spares, since my B3/C3/A100 all use the flat variety.

          Thanks! The B3 I'm considering is a '50s vintage, so probably the flat bars then.

            If it's from the 50s, you are good to go ;)
