[HAM] Hammond Percussion and now drawbars!

[Jordan Kersten]

I use them while playing, meaning I change drawbars as I am actually holding down keys, so smoothies are a must for me, an absolute must.  I am currently working on a project to convert them using M3 parts.  They should be here Thursday.  My plan is to use the spring contacts and drawbar trays/spacers to do the conversion.  I have never seen the inside of an M assembly so I don't know if the busbar spacers/trays will fit in the B2.  The trays/spacers are notched in the B2 giving you that ratchety click and hopefully with the M3 parts, I can replace them.  I'm not sure yet if the M3 assemblies use them same parts (specifically the busbar trays/spacers) as the B3's and other smooth drawbar console organs.
