I'm getting a 1962 Hammond M-111 organ this weekend!!!!! It's FREE!!! I'm excited about it, but I've never owned an organ before. Where can I go to learn more about Hammond's in general, and then to learn more about this particular model? I want tons and tons of details!!

I don't know how to play keyboards, but I absolutely love the sound of the Hammond organ. So jealous! I don't have any sites for you...Wikipedia's article seems quite in depth, but we all know that Wikipedia can be flawed at times.

My friend and I wanted to buy an old, busted-buy-still-fuctional Hamond Organ from our High School a couple years ago, but one day we come in and our Piano teacher was like, "Oh, they threw away that old thing."

I was in complete and utter shock. Who in their right mind throws away a working Hamond Organ?! Anyway, congrats on the free organ! Cherish it well!

I'm so excited to have it! Anyone know if there's anything I need to do to get it ready to move? I've read for other models that there's a mechanism to lock the tonewheel, but I don't know if I need to do that for this or what...
