the only way Hammond drawbars are similar to organ "pullstops" (they're actually called drawknobs), is that they're both horizontal, and they go in and out. Drawknobs have the name of the stop and pitch written, drawbars don't. Drawbars have 8 levels of volume, drawknobs don't. On a pipe organ, pulling out a stop opens a rank of pipes (or more).
The G-100 used real stop tabs because they wanted to offer a classical-type organ, that operated in the more traditional manner, and let's face it.....most concert organists don't know how to work drawbars. I can remember the first time I sat at a Hammond. Up to that time, the only organs I've ever played were pipe organs. BIG DIFFERENCE. I had no idea what to do with these things!
