There is one more trick; the chorus vibrato switch assembly needs to
be modified.  From an old posting...

"The chorus/vibrato switch was removed and disassembled. The BV's
chorus/vibrato switch is a shaft driven affair with twenty four or so
cam-driven contacts arranged in three groups of eight.  In the BV the
switch's six positions correspond to V1/C1, Off, V2/C2, Off, V3/C3,
Off.  In the B3 it's C1, V1, C2, V2, C3, V3.  I had to grind the cams in
the BV's switch to make it hold a group of eight contacts closed for
two adjacent rotational positions as the B3's does.  The cams are some
kind of plastic material and grind easily with 150 grit paper."
