You know what works? A Bucket of Warm water and a 1/4 cup of Laundry
detergent... just keep a towel handy to wipe up afterwards.. The
finish on Hammonds are unstoppable! You may also want to try
Murphy's Oil Soap afterwards to remove any residual stuff... I don't
think you will have to worry about the water seeping into the
finish. As I said before.. They didn't skimp on the finish at
Hammond Organ Company...
I have removed tougher things from the finish with "Goof Off". I was
suprised to find out that it removed accumulated gunk and paint
splatter, but didn't affect the finish what so ever! Old English
sells a red oil that is good for covering scratches and polishing the
finish on these guys (or gals if you prefer)... The red oil is a
nice close match to the finish... I think you will be pleased!
I got an organ that was not only covered in TONS of nicotine/tar, but
candle wax, spilled beer, soda, paint splatter, etc... Fortunately,
this 1958 C3 only cost me $50, and it screams.. It was worth the
work...

container...
I asked what the group thought(a)B3 in the original box was
worth...
laddie, i did not see the original post so i don't know the ser#
and date.
i
recently bought a b3/pr40 in as near mint as possible, all tubes
original
hammond. it was delivered on jan 14, 1964 and never serviced,
although it
was protected with a layer of nicotine i am still trying to
remove (any
suggestions from the zone would be appreciated). i paid within
10% of the
original invoice (3K) and wouldn't sell it for twice that...tg
coast time
is
22 seconds!!! your a minimum of 5k up to 10k to the right person.
but do
yourself a favor, make a deal and get it for yourself (and save
the
original
box!). these things have last for 30+ years and you haven't
started the
clock yet. mike
