Depends which one it is. Is it internally amped or? Not so keen on those. There's a few Mesa made ones in the Srates for sale, but I'd hate to guess the shipping price on something that heavy.
The one I'm thinking of is the vintage Hammond Leslie. Monster tone, monster size, monster weight.
Definitely interested in a 122 or 147 (especially the 147 obviously).

Is it already adapted for guitar?

Doubt it. Connected to a Hammond. Last time I dropped my hands on the keys, it produced a perfect 'Whiter Shade of Pale'. Sounded feckin glorious.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Good laawd. They were so clever back in those days.

There was a guy playing one out of Wurlitzer at a church in Ellerslie a few weeks back - I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. Never heard anything so glorious in my life - aided by the natural reverb of the church.

So you'll also need to buy a small church to go with it?

I have a the guts of a drum only leslie from one of the crappy 70's electronic organs in my shed, might have a go at building a cab and trying to make it go one day, not even sure if the motor and a speaker work but it would be a cool thing to have!

I'm cashless, so currently gas-less. But once a couple of things move I'll be sniffing in the /13 direction I reckon...

The problem with having a black SG and a natural SG is that you can't help feeling that a cherry one is missing.
