Good point Ron.. I tend to agree... I still would not part with it for less than $50,000, but I would open the box at the new owners place and have a tech there to restore or rebuild as necessary.

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
