Members pokymoonshine Posted January 21, 2006 Members Share Posted January 21, 2006 I just aquired an old, 50's hammond M2 in perfect working order. I'm thinking of refininshing it. Anyone know if it's worth anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members circlesee Posted January 21, 2006 Members Share Posted January 21, 2006 I bought an M3 in decent shape last year for $175 (ebay). It sounds great, looks great in my living room. Is it worth going to the trouble to refinish one? I would do it. It's an instrument that will serve you well for decades, why not make it look good. Will it ever be worth a lot? maybe not....who cares, you own a real Hammond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of refininshing it. Anyone know if it's worth anything? If you do it yourself it will be cheaper. Refinish jobs often cost more than the organ is worth. Unless it is an M-3, spinets do not command high prices. In fact the bottom is falling out of the Hammond organ thing even old consoles. Except B style cabinets which seem tobe worth more. I would say $100-$200 tops for an M-2. Good luck with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wikwox Posted January 22, 2006 Members Share Posted January 22, 2006 I got my last two Hammond spinets for free( a M3 & a beat M2). Honestly your M2 is worth nothing or whatever someone would offer for it. M3's have the Hammond percussion and are popular as a B3/C3/A100 haulable alternative. If you like it, keep it and have fun.

Members bigdoodah Posted January 22, 2006 Members Share Posted January 22, 2006 I actually got a Hammond M-3 at home, to which I added a lineout. running it through the rotary effect on my Fantom-S gives it the Hammond/Leslie sound we all know and love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want a hammond spinet but can't go half way across the country to get one, but you're in NY so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
