[HAM] refinish B-3

[Bruce Murphy]

How hard was it to "Gut" the B3? I figure the most annoying part in un-soldering and lableing all the pedal contacts? Can you get the generator and manuals and  drawbar assemblies out without disconnecting a whole pile of stuff?

  The best way is to remove the "guts"/insides so you have any empty wooden 
case. It worked for me. We did the same to the Leslie 122. I sent the empty 
B3 and 122 case to a professional refinisher. It came out gorgeous and now 
sits proudly in my living room where it gets played every day. Good luck.
