Ronnie,
Hear! hear!
If it's only worth big bucks as long as it stays in the box, what's the
point? Reminds me of the stories of rare vintage wine bottles, sell for
1,000's in any currency, no one knows if the contents are fine wine or very
expensive vinegar!!!!

Aloft on wing, seen, then unseen.

I have read about new B-3's in the box a few times.
One was a 1974 B-3, the asking price was $50,000 US.
A few things to think about, if you take it out of the box it is now just
another B-3. Is the generator gonna spin freely, maybe, maybe not. The
elctolytic caps and filter caps will be as good as any old caps and will
need to be replaced if you want a brand new "sounding" organ resulting in
a
non-stock B-3. I have also read there are 25 B-3's in the box tucked away.
The only way this organ will be worth anything is if it stays in its box,
so who the hell would want a box of organ???? Not I. It is a shame to make
a
big deal out of an organ that is still in its box, open it up, tune it up
and let 'er rip!!!!!
Cheers,
Ronnie

I read it and loved it-- as a reformed baseball card collector, I know
what
"mint condition in the box" can mean...priceless; but in reality, you
have
to find the buyer.

I got no response from any zoners about the B3 in the original box.
Maybe
you did not see the question? I asked what the group thought it was
worth
and gave the serial number. It is true that the factory carton has never
been opened...correction, it was opened just enough to make sure the box
was
not filled with concrete blocks. Prior to recently, it has not been for
sale, but now it is. I have been asked by the owner to inquire of all
you
experts.. .what you reasonably think he should ask and/or what is the
most
he can reasonably expect to get. Please advise.

I understand the Hamm rep being rude a little bit, when people
ask
about my ex wife(B3), I get a little offended because I have a new
wife(New B3). I`m just hoping he was referring "people like you" to
mean hobbyist as opposed to being a institution. I think it`s us
hobbyist that keeping interest in the darn thing alive. Hammond-
Suzuki better wake up and smell the latte`. Don`t they know I would
do just about anything for a one hundred pound B3 with tonewheels
and
tubes? Casey
