Here's a list giving all the presets from Hammond's 'New B3'.
There are 3 types (Jazz, Theatre & Liturgical) with nine presets for each keyboard manual - normally selcted on the bottom octave of a B3 keyboard using the notes C# thru A (C is 'Cancel' and A# and B are for 'live' use of the two sets of drawbars per manual).

Thanks so much. That’s a great one and I know about it. I was just wondering if he had another. Every little tidbit of visibility into Tench’s setup is a big help!! It’s like playing detective!

Drawbars stay put until I move them.Or maybe use one of the 'go to' presets from 1935.These registrations are typical not just for me.....just enough room left on the upper Bb preset to bring out more 16/5+1/3/8 or 2' 1'......just shy of all eights!Same with upper B.Leave some room for 'grunt' on the 16/5+1/3/8'.....I run my 4' on 11 man.......helps out the 3rd or 2nd harm perc.Also the 2+2/3' it really depends.Maybe a little 1+1/3'.....lower always ready to comp or play bass lines on either Bb or B preset.
Settings on the C2D pretty much the same. I am in a music video from thirty years ago with Long John Baldry and Colin James.A song called Dancin' something or other,shot at The Roxy on Granville St.
Organist Rick Hopkins on the original Colin James recordings is a friend of mine.So was Eric Webster.
