I hear ya' -- I used to play 'em AND repair 'em.
The VB3 is the best of the current crop of plugs.
Back to the real thing though...
I have a 1970 122RV sitting about 5 feet away from me right now. That and the Hammond XK-3 (40 pounds) is about as good as it gets IMHO, unless you have an old "oiler" and can afford to replace tubes, matching transformers, keep the buss bars in good shape, etc.
I also hear you on the Rhodes -- still haven't found a good Rhodes plug.
