I found it outside of my work place next to the dump. Not a huge organ fan so i wasn't instantly excited and ready to take it.

All Hammonds are quite sought after I think. If it is a hammond and not one the "clones", that is. You should find a model type somewhere on the back. Post it here.

Re: Is this hammond organ worth much?
Only the tonewheel Hammonds with drawbars hold any real value. This one appears to be a later all electronic model. It would probably be difficult to give away.
If you want to get a good Hammond to start out with watch Craigslist for a deal on an M3, M100, or L100 model. These are all tonewheel spinet organs which can be found for free up to a few hundred dollars and sound much like the more expensive B3, C3, and A100 console models.

No, it's not worth much.
V301H's post is spot on.

Alright, i'm not gonna do anything with it
Re: Is this hammond organ worth much?
We had this same one when I was a kid,
It's definitely not a tone wheel organ.
Still, it's not bad sounding.
Ours had built-in Leslie.
