Ok, I've got something
I went and looked at a D-152 for sale and it says D-152 on the
wooden
part of the console in the back but on the guts of the unit it says
B2,
and sure enough it is a B2 retrofitted into the D-152 console cabinet.
Here's what I don't get, is that the B2 had 25 foot pedals but on this
arrangement it has 32 pedals and they all work, something screwy here.
A transplant like this showed up around a year ago, and what
appears to have happened in that case was this - They took the D-152
manuals/preamp/TG (which are identical to a B-3) and swapped them into
the B-2 Cabinet, creating a faux B-3. The leftover B-2 guts went back
into the D-152 case, and that's what you're looking at.
Is the PSU (Pedal Solo Unit) still there? That would explain why
all 32 tones still work using the Pads on the right side of the organ.
If they work also using the 8' and 16' drawbars, then somebody actually
went to the trouble to rewire the pedal harness to the B-2 generator,
not a trivial task.
I wouldn't pay more than $500 for a monster like this, and in most
cases less. A D-152 case is really heavy, and wider than a C type
cabinet by 9". Not a Gig organ! Add a trek ii, and you'd have a decent
rig, but I'd leave it at home.
