7. My Dad Had An H-100

But, he has a friend through my Cub Scout days that had a C-3 with a Leslie 147 cabinet.
Same as a B-3 but even less mobile and had the locking lid to cover things up when not in use.
My first piano teacher also had a 147 cabinet but I don't remember the organ being big. Maybe an M series like the one used on Whiter Shade Of Pale.
My dad's was nice, but had different circuitry than a B-3 so it didn't sound the same. Didn't have the key click or the percussive pop of the B-3.
I have a killer B-3 patch on my QS-8.1, with the mod wheel used to adjust distortion to get that Jon Lord growl. The sliders function as drawbar, so I can change timbre mid note.
It's not quite a B-3, but still awfully authentic.
