Which new series are you talking about, the Portable B3, XK-5 System or also some of the smaller portable Hammond stage organs?

The XK-5 Hybrid Multiple Key-Contact System.

It doesn’t look like the XK-1c has it.

The B-3/C-3 Mk2 and Portable B-3 Mk2 have full analog keying with nine mechanical contacts below each key, as far as I can see. I wasn’t aware of that — that’s pretty cool.

Yes it’s pretty cool indeed and the B3 MK2 are probably the closest ones ever to the old analog B3 models. Although a bit expensive....and they have actually 10 mechanical contacts, 9 to control each of the drawbar registers and the 10th for midi
