Hi Paul!
Yes, that's the right Chris :-) I'd love to get you to do the MIDI conversion of my TR-77 - I like the sounds on it so much that I bought a second one in anticipation of the first one being out of action for a while. The Hammond should be much easier to MIDIfy, thanks to the simpler triggering, so I'm going to try tackling that one myself.
If you could email me on both my addresses, then hopefully your message will make it past the spam filters to one of them:

As for the Hammond power supply, it all looks original inside my one, with a much higher quality of soldering and assembly than the Roland. I've just finished reading the autobiography of Taro Kakehashi (the founder of Roland) and I suspect he had no involvement in the design of the Auto Vari, as that came out in 1974 and he'd parted ways with Hammond International at the same time he left Ace in 1972. I'll get around to disassembling the Auto Vari again in the near future and uploading some close ups of the PSU board.
Cheers,
Chris
