This Model E now sounds as I remember the B3 to sound and based upon this experience I can't say that I would be in the camp of "oh, don't change those nice old caps, that's what makes it sound so good." The E's output levels were terribly uneven note to note and the thing was very weak and dull sounding before the recap. [...]
I had a fun experience last night - after struggling to figure out how to ( badly) play a guitar for the past couple years I sat down at the organ and in just a few minutes of head scratching managed to read and play a recognizable version of Take Me Out to the Ballgame, which seemed most appropriate for the way this organ sounds.
Good description -- I think I know exactly what you mean.
That's also promising. My old M3 had even notes (except the pedals suffered) but it had lost almost all of its sparkle, becoming a very warm, fuzzy, old-school vacuum cleaner sound before the motor crashed. Worked great for quiet vampire stuff, Buxtehude, lounge music, etc., but it was fresh out of baseball or theater character. Sounds like your fix really fixed it!
