Hi Gandert,
?
You say you have the Solton T150... I have one like that too.?A year ago I changed the amp for a tube amp, but the original amp sounded ok (for a solid state)?but it had a lot more treble response than the original Leslies, in my opinion. On your solton there must be a knob "tone control" or "tone", anyway, most of the time?tuning that one up should do it... ;-)
?
As for the motor sounds of your Solton, the only annoying noise I can hear is a relay click, when you change slow/fast.... Nothing to do about that... If you consider the Leslie part of the instrument, you don't care about it any longer! It still is a mechanical instrument... When you record an oboe, you hear the keyclicks, too, If you see what I mean?
?
When you?hear other mechanical noise, try to clean up the complete Leslie inside and outside (vacuum cleaner, and those little sticks you use for your ears, for the smaller parts,...) And than lubricate all rotating parts. On top of the lower rotor, you can see the contact for the lower rotating speaker ( a small?metal plate which is about 10 cm long). Lift it up and spray it with contact spray. I use lubrication oil for it...?Works better?on?my?Solton!?See what works best on?yours... I have to do it every month, otherwise it starts cracking...
?
My?Spinet (M-series), which I don't run through a Leslie (yet ??), sounds?rather mellow, too, but I'm not quite shure if all the speakers work... It still needs some repairs... Maybe you should try running the organ through a normal keyboard amp, and see if you still got the problem... I was quite stunned when you mentioned the absence of a 16' drawbar... The lower manual starts from 8', but your upper manual must have a 16' drawbar...
?
The hum of your organ probably is some ground noise... The best thing you can do is to take a piece of electric wire and attach one part to the grounds of your organ. Then, use the other part to?make contact with?other?parts of your organ (try every?big metal part)?That should do the trick...
?
Anyway, if you have other questions on the Solton or anything else in particular... Be my guest!
?
Regards!

Hi there,
?
I recently entered the world of Hammond. I bought a L122. I like it so far. It's not the best hammond, but at least it's real. I bought a Solton Leslie too. it looks not as beautiful as a real leslie, ?but is sounds ok.
But I got some little things with my set up.
Eg. the hammong gives a hum and it doesn't sound very bright, it's sound like there's some treble missing.
Does someone know if it's possible to add an extra drawbar to the lower manual, because really miss the 16'
Are there manners to damp the leslie motor noises?
?
Thanks for any solution,
?
