Awesome!  I had that setup once myself, back around 1970.  Eventually sold it and bought a Fender Rhodes, which just fit in the back seat of my VW.

Mine's a 1971 vintage - I bought it with all the original paperwork & warranty certificate (although I think that's now expired...)

Don't think you're going to get much warranty work on that one Wink
 
I will suggest you refrain from opening up the back and plucking on the reverb unit, as I once did to imitate Emerson, as it can deliver a nasty shock.

It's much safer to imitate Jon Lord - ie raise the front a few inches & let it fall to get the authentic Deep Purple reverb spring "CRASHHHHHH" - which is about the closest I'll ever get to making the same sound on a Hammond as Lord does...

We've also discovered that if you floor the swell pedal, rack up the Leslie, then act all innocent until a cat walks past...

...then hit the bottom C bass pedal...

you get poo on the floor & claw marks in the ceiling

Fun, though
