Default I'm surprised they haven't tanked already.

Have they all been re-capped? If not, they are long overdue!



The C3, yes. (B3 in a full cabinet).
The B3, no.

And you can hear the difference.

I was going to order the cap set, but found a guy that rebuilds the preamps
and installs all new caps in the process. He takes your old one as a
"core" and installs a rebuilt from his stock. He also does a "tune" up ...
cleans the drawbars, key contacts, oils the tone generator, etc. I decided
that since I've never done this, it will be worth having it done by an
experienced Hammond tech.

He's also going to make a couple of popular modifications, including fixing
the upper drawbar volume attenuation when using percussion in the normal
setting.
