Hammond RT-3

 

The Hammond RT-3 is basically the same organ as the B-3 with two notable exceptions, the 32 note concave radiating pedal board and the Pedal Solo Unit which produces tones from the 32' pitch through the 2' pitch.

The RT-3 pictured below is unusual in that it is an original factory ebony finish as are the two matching Leslie 122 RV speakers.
