I've been at it again.

This image includes the pedals and are separated in 12 note octaves, starting with
tone 1 to 91.

I think personally that my 1960 B3 #81898 is the best sounding b3 I have ever laid
hands on.  A little biased maybe but a damned fine instrument.  If you look at the
image you can see that tone 54 and 78 are a little hot.  If you really listen while
playing you can hear it but it is not offensive.  I probably won't mess with these.

On the other hand, my 1964 B3 #93380 has some problems.  First, tone 85 is really
loud and very noticable.  Especially high C 8'.  I will be changing the pickup on
this tone.

My question to the group is about tones 73 - 84.  You can plainly hear the drop off
of these tones in the upper half of the keyboard using 888888888.  It is VERY
noticeable.  Especially with tones 61-72 being slightly louder than 49-60.

Any thoughts on this?
