My wife said IF I can take everything out of the BV and make a working chop, (to prove I can put one back together), then and only then, I can cast my eye on her 'precious' to make a "B3".  Anyone that cares to, can make suggestions about filming the process, numbering every wire twice, where to start (the manuals?), etc.  You can email me privately at paulmarcum at cox.net, if you don't want to clutter the list

There's a lot of things to consider when doing this. Ya know what I'd
do? I'd leave the A-102 alone for now, and let the wife get comfortable
with "Precious" and the possibility of more stuff coming in the door. Do
you already have the BV cab? What kind of condition is it in?

Unless you're going to gig with it and need that B-3 look vs playin the
poodle organ, I'd leave it alone. There's a lotta work involved. Do you
already have the BV cab? does that organ work? It's much easier to mod
the BV to (almost) B3 specs than move the guts. Trust me on this.
