Hello all, here's a few picture of what I been gigging with for the last while. I took a C2 (painted black with Wurly legs), and link it up via midi to a Electro 3 "module". I took the keys off of the Electro and cut the main control panel and jacks off of the rest of the metal chassis, then built a new "desktop" housing for it. It's the long white box with wood sides. The nice thing about having the C2 and Electro 3 linked up, is I can assign the Electro to the top manual, and be able to play The C2 organ on the bottom keyboard at the same time. One can even keep a few drawbars out on the top and blend the two together... I built a pedal board for the swell pedal, leslie foot switch, piano/organ sustain pedal and a Boss RC-20 XL looper which sit under the C2. The other non-Nord gear seen is a Memotron (wood to match) which triggers the Moog Slim Phatty (wood to match), both go through the Boss Space Echo and then to the looper. Everything then goes into a Fender Deluxe Reverb, which has great vibrato and reverb for the Electro's Wurly and Rhodes.

It's been a long road to built and set this all up, not to mention expensive.... But I couldn't be happier. It's all so portable and sounds AMAZING! Thanks for checking it out, I've been excited to share this with this forum!

Cheers!

seriously SWEEEET!!

Quite nice!! I bet it not only cost you a lot of money, but also time to paint everything and chop the NE3.

Looks great and organized! congrats!

Thanks! The roughest part was taking an angle grinder to the Electro 3 and cutting into it. Bought it new, and told the sales guy that no warranty would be needed, since I would be cutting it up. The look of his face...

Love the new vintage look of it. Always thought Nord would do a lot better with a black option.

It took awhil for the pics to load. Glad I waited.

Ha, I wasn't able to discover the NE3, until you have this hint. You've got some balls.

Looks great!
How did you attach the wurlitzer legs? Did you have to drill something?

Yes there was some drilling required. 16 holes in all. I ordered the legs and the leg flanges (brackets) from VintageVibe.com. Three screw hole in each flange, plus the leg has a threaded post that needs to screw into the flange and through.
Nerve wracking!!!!
