"internal Leslie speaker" in an A-100?

Hmmm...send a picture of the interior, please.

Jan -

The "internal Leslie", I'm quite certain, is just the standard A-100 electronic imitation of the outboard speaker sound. I apologize if that terminology struck you as misleading.

Regards,

Kirsten

Hello, Kirsten;

Yes, the Leslie reference is definitely misleading, at least here in the hallowed halls of the organ geek. The A-100 system is very much run-of-the-mill stationary speaker design. The Leslie rotary loudspeaker lends a whole new richness to the Hammond tone.

I found this A-100 listed on CL in NE Indiana (Fort Wayne area). Based on the description, I think this might be the instrument listed by Kelsie13.

love those internal Leslies, A100 has 3 of them doesn't it? Stereo plus reverb. Doesn't the upper rotor pop out the top behind the music stand in a brass cage?
