Yeah but I bet it sounded better than the one on Ebay! You guys nailed it - no place for the sound to go... what were they thinking? Guess they've never laid eyes on a Leslie 16 = Fender Vibratone...

Phew, I thought I'd seen every kind of "improvement" under the sun already... but take a look at this masterpiece:

...just a little anecdotal evidence here, to show that there are other good eggs like JamKar. Our church (Episcopal) is blessed with a lovely pipe organ, in good repair; and more important, a...

[post deleted - misread the thread, sorry]

Yes, that'll be a 257 plus 258 pair, if my info is correct. --The 257 being essentially a 247 but with a non-standard, 9-pin hookup; and the 258 being a non-rotary cab as you describe.

I wonder...

While we're waiting for TF812 to fire up the scanner, here's a couple pics of this very interesting model from Thomas. :-)

OMG! Is that actually an ANTENNA?!?

Hey Admiral, good to hear from you. I don't live in FL, not any more that is - :-( . Up in the cold unfriendly Northeast now, I'm afraid. But someday I'll be back... "There's a gator in the...

Just for the record, in case anyone else is having difficulties: I had this same problem, first with the static.ak.facebook address, and then more recently with the googleads.doubleclick address. ...

good luck to our West...

Great minds think alike, they say! I always thought one of the earlier Yamaha spinets would make a great combo organ. Those "tone levers" function almost exactly like drawbars, and Yamaha always...

Hey, congrats and welcome! That picture says it all brother! You'll find that's the way everyone on here feels about Hammonds.

As far as your questions, first: yes, I would say it definitely...

If it's a short cabinet, I think that's going to be a 44W. I'm not aware of any other shorty cabs with single louvers only on top. But KK is right, if it's not shorty then 21H is a likely...

Aha! You've put me onto the solution: the pedals from an old reed organ, hooked up as a pneumatic driver for the rotor!

Pump your feet slowly for Chorale, faster for Tremolo... :devil:

Smart man. I agree that looks like a "guppy" Leslie rotor on the bottom... I still want to know where the heck he's hiding the lower motors though!

Kinda looks like a hack job to me. Other than the treble driver and horns, there's not much there to work with. I'm particularly puzzled by the lower rotor. I'm not completely familiar with the...

The oil simply acts to dampen the springs and control the reverb level. I.e., no oil means no damping therefore outlandishly cavernous reverb (I have heard you get a reverb tail of longer than 30...

I have seen this done before... either a Wurlitzer or a Thomas, maybe... they had a Leslie 700 plus a pair of Leslie 70s. (Which are the same as the 60s, just in "furniture" type cabinets rather...

I agree with Larry; actually I was going to go just a tad wider on the range, $0 - $300. The upper end of the range would be reserved for M3s that are in good working order and perfect "living room"...

Ah, now we're getting somewhere! I had missed the Thomas connection, but you're right, it's right there on the ID plate. So I'm sure you're right that it would've been just for the one dedicated...

That's what it looks like to me, too - in fact the little driver looks exactly like the brown 8" Jensen I've seen in the OEM units. --Which makes it seem very strange as a standalone! What would it...

I wondered about this too. There's no model 12 listed in "Uncle Harvey's" Leslie list. But this one isn't the first I've seen, and the other ones looked just like it - down to details like the...

Thanks for the info! Based on the heritage, I'd expect it might be geared more toward a theater organ sound - is that right? I seem to remember reading reviews that the later 4700 was like that,...

Stumbled across this today:

5777

I've never seen one quite like this... it looks to be a vintage Wurlitzer as opposed to one of the rebadged imports, going by the Wurlitzer tone cabs anyway. ...
