I claim to be able to play a little. But I also claim to be able to speak
Spanish, fly a helicopter and to levitate when inspired by the right guru
and the right drugs.
I have a fantasy of setting it up in our shop and blasting some Elton John
over 22,400 square feet of production floor.
I am semi retired and bored to death. It may happen.

If nobody at your house plays and you want to sell it, you can probably get
some good money for it. If the finish is beat up, just tell people it was
on tour with Deep Purple or something.
Leslie I believe was a separate company but closely associated with Hammond
organs.

I think I may have the spinning speaker somewhere.

I think the B3 is the model that was prized by many rock bands and is also
featured on many studio albums of different genres. I've got some Kim
Richey albums which are semi-country and some of the songs have acoustic
guitar + Hammond organ.

Most people will think of House of the Rising Sun which was not a Hammond.
But if you think of a famous rock song with an organ, it's probably a B3.
Nothing sounds like it, although I think they have programmed synthesizers
to mimic the sound.

I think that the motor is a synchronous motor but no start winding.
I have not studied the theory of the different "stops" yet on how they
modify the signal from the tone wheels.
Mine has a really poor finish. Bad veneer. Not sure if I am ever going to
do something with it or not.

My folks had a big Hammond that we sold with the estate sale after my father
passed away. I think we had it since around 1967, and sold it around 2003.
It had a whole "start up" procedure, where you had to run a starter motor
for so many seconds before you turned on the main motor. I think this was
because the main motor had a flywheel that it couldn't spin from a dead
stop.
The family was kind of surprised at how much the bids went up on it, as I
gather it had become somewhat of a collector's item.

I worked for Warwick Electronics in 1974-1975. They made TV sets for
Sears and Kmart, and owned Thomas Organ which owned the rights and
manufactured the Moog Synthesizer.
My responsibilities were on the TV side, but think I saw the
schematics once and I'm pretty sure it was a 100% analog design. No
computers, beeps, or boops.
Hammond was the one that used tonewheels to generate the frequencies
and harmonics. Still no computers. Motors.
Apparently now lots of things go bing-bing-bing:

Probably wouldn't work today.
The Moog was invented when the first computers were leaking the beeps
and boops. Today's computers are so well shielded that it would have
made the invention of the Moog Synthesizer non-intuitive.

My first lab standard was 1 one pound bar of a mixture of lead and
babbit I found in our farm shop.
I cast it and hammered it and shaved it until it weighed the same as
a pint of water.
I then took it through a metal detector at an airport.
This was right after DB Cooper and it was the first metal detector at
PDX.
I was certain that it could not detect non ferrous metals. I was right.
Told the kids at school, the teacher called BS and I bought the bar
to school. Teacher still called BS.
But in those days teachers told me things like "when an atomic
reactor operates, it gives off particles. They collect those
particles in a container. Atomic bombs are those containers and they
break them open when they want to unleash the bomb". Another gem
from the same
(science) teacher "when computers operate they make beeps and boops.
Some figured out how to make those beeps and boops in a controlled
fashion and that is what a Moog synthesizer is".

Heat actually doesn't rise.
Hot air or liquid will rise due to lower density, assuming it is free
to rise while denser fluids sink. So it might be true in a flooded
battery but not an AGM battery.
Also not true:
A pint's a pound.
Ground is ground the world around.
Lightning never strikes the same place twice.
Can't even trust righty tighty lefty loosey, witness twist ties on
stuff from China and even some Cat5 cable.

It probably would depend on the enclosure and/or whether there is
insulation around the rest of the battery. If the battery has an
insulation blanket around it, the heat from the heat mat should
propagate through the entire battery. Heat does rise.

If you get those heater mats under the battery will you have a

the top? Will that hurt anything?
Suppose the charger has a temperature probe as well. My instinct is
to tape it to the same top post as the thermostat probe. I figure
the lead post tells me more about the temp inside the battery, and
if they're on the same post then the charger and heater are working
off the same assumption. Is that reasonable or would you do it
differently?
I may be at risk of fussing over details that don't matter much, but
it's in my nature I guess.
