Can anyone identify this Hammond organ?

It's old, hand wired, and has a leslie tremolo in it - which rings a bell as a good thing, though I don't actually know why. Does anyone know what model this thing is?

Looks like a T series to me.

The T series, produced from 1968–1975, was the first all-solid-state, transistor-powered Hammond. Tony Banks of Genesis used a modified T-102 from 1974 to 1980. He played the organ through an MXR Phase 100 phaser pedal and a Boss CE-1 analogue chorus pedal to replace the effect of a Leslie speaker. Other transistorized series produced in the mid to late 1970s include the "Romance" series (123000, 124000, 125000, 126000). Within those series, models were offered in numerical increments of 100 (e.g. 124000, 124100, 124200). These models also came with a built-in, hinged horizontal 2 speed "Leslie Tremolo Unit". The organ's rear panel has additional 9-pin Leslie speaker jack for use with a Leslie 700 series speaker cabinet.

It definitely is a two speed tremolo, but I'm nearly certain it had a tube amp in it. The bottom left had the amp - and it had two metal canisters I assumed were there to hold tubes. I could be wrong though, I just found it for a song at a consignment store and was trying to figure out if I should buy it.

Is there any way to look at it and tell what the model is? Inside or something? I could find nothing in the way of markings on the thing.

We had a B10 when we were touring in the early 70s. It was basically a B3, with the leslie amp set-up built in, and it weighed a ton. I don't think the one you picked up really looks the same, but it's been 35 years. I can't really see the draw bars in the photo, but it had the same set up as the B3. It did plug right in to our portable leslie cab.
