Hi Phil.
The Rudy Van Gelder 1959 C3 is probably one of the most famous Hammonds
in the world  and for the Jazz / Blues lovers the sound of this 1959 C3
would be the gold standard by which all other Hammonds are judged by. I
bet that many  people on the various Hammond forums  would absolutely
love to see a measured TG output curve taken during the early 1960's
when this C3 was used for many classic Jazz / Blues recordings.
If I ever get to the United States and I am ever given permission to
check out this 1959 C3 , I would measure the TG output curve  and then
put the data in my TG spreadsheet for all to see. After doing  this then
it might then be my turn to duck and run like hell  because a few
elitist purists who are offended that the "magic" of this 1959 C3 is now
publicly revealed will want to grab me and slap my face and kick my
backside :-).  
All the best.
