We were looking at attaching the foot pedals but that would require taking it
off of the dolley, since the pedals assembly needs support from underneath. An
alternative would be to attach the pedals and install casters under them as
well, so the whole assembly could be moved around or played. It does seem like
we should keep the organ movable, so wheels are a given. Ideally the whole
trifecta of organ, speaker, and foot pedals will be on a combined wheeled
island that anyone can move around without breaking anything
what could possibly go wrong

Nice. Thanks Kent & everyone for all their work on
this. You’ll likely want
to take a picture of the permanent marking on the back of the cone as well.
Also I can’t remember, but is there a speed control on that leslie..? Some
were dual-speed, but a variac or something similar might allow for a full
range of speeds
Once we got the ramp a couple weeks ago, I finally moved it up to the stage
where it belongs. It could use some step-down casters affixed so it can be
more easily rolled to and from the wing at stage-left, where it should
probably live when not in active use.

of the edge would be good. and if there are any numbers or anything
printed on the cone anywhere...

the Hammond organ with the Leslie speaker is
amazing! But i know the
speaker
paper is chewed up and decayed to hell and needs a recone.
Here's a video of Marc playing it:

Where can we find parts for a recone kit? I volunteer Arlo to do the
reconing,
he did a great job with a giant subwoofer recently.
What model speaker is it? Or do we just have to find a reconing
company that
can send us a custom cone and surround according to measurements we
make?
maybe Tuesday night we can take measurements, and try to figure out the
model
number of the speaker.
I wouldn't be surprised if we have to re-use the voice coil that's in
there now
- who knows what weird impedance it is (this is an
electromagnetic-stator
speaker powered by a tube amp!) and it's probably made with whale-bone
PCB
lacquer that will outlast anything we can buy, plus there's nothing
wrong with
it.
Thanks to Kent for rebuilding the amplifier
the organ is mentioned a couple of times in this Meeting from 2015:

I created a wiki page for it, please edit and contribute:
