Beatles "Hammond" organ sound

Hi folks. I have a CTX 5000 and I'm fairly new to it yet, and I was wondering is there any sound on this keyboard that is similar to The Beatles Hammond Organ sound let's say perhaps on Let It Be or I'm down, or other ones that they use that Hammond organ on? Just wanted to get some opinions maybe what preset number might be close to it in your opinions out there thank you.

Don't know exactly what preset on the CTX5000-but on "Let it Be", this is a very "churchy" full sounding Hammond-open stops, probably some phaser effects going on. Also possibly the tiniest bit of vibrato. Definitely a Hammond on that one if I'm not mistaken.  "I'm Down"-you picked one of my all time favorites-Paul at his best. It is a Vox Continental-look for a preset that might say "Cheesy" as many programmers like to label their attempts at sounding like the Vox. Alot of treble on this one, no phasing-mostly straight presets and tones with drawbars and no effects-very harsh, I've played  one or two years ago. I still have my original 45 of "I'm Down", for a reason....I love this track. This is what rock music is-and thank you Little Richard. Maybe I'll have my family play this at my funeral......
