Leslie 710 Connected to Hammond A-100

[ATYFP]

A fellow musician visited me today, desiring to know how he should join his A-100 to a 710 Leslie. Which kit is required? Any special modifications?

Thanks,

It is possible.The Leslie 710 has two channels - the rotary channel for the flutes and the stationary channel for orchestral voices. The Hammond A, B and C - series are one channel organs and usually connected to one channel Leslies - eg 145, 147 and 122. You can connect the 710 using the rotary channel only. Or you could install a frequency crossover that diverts the lower frequencies into the 710's stationary channel. It would be good for the Rotosonic speaker to escape the lower frequencies. The speaker is just a crappy 6"x9". Another way to utilize the 710's stationary channel is to divert the A100's reverb signal into it. Apart from these considerations I can't see any problems doing it. That's the way I see it. But don't take this as gospel. I'm just a Carpenter and when it comes to electronics I get it wrong sometimes . I'm sure the resident experts will chime in. And there is plenty of info on the net to guide you.

As a matter of fact I've been thinking of hitching my two L710's to my C3. But this is low on my list of priorities.

I have learned through another Hammond/Leslie authority that Trek II makes a crossover that is designed to allow 710 and similar Leslies to "marry" Hammonds such as the A-100. In addition to the Trek II crossover, the Leslie 760 connector kit will be required along with a 9-pin cable. This seems simple enough. As a result, I will be helping my friend get his rig up and running for use in the very near future.
