One other element was if the tubes were shot. The old blown out tubes would
give it a really dirty, but soft texture which for some things was desirable.

The best synthesis of a Hammond I've heard is a hardware keyboard. Nord makes
a really great sounding Hammond synth that beats out anything else I've heard.
(It's Rhodes, Claves and Whirlitzer are great too, piano kinda sucks though)
