You got it. Leslies come with different cable types (6, 9, 11 pin), depending on how they are designed. Some of the design considerations are: pre-amp level connection from the console/speaker level connection from the console, availability of B+ feed for the console, inclusion of a reverb channel, etc. and several others. Goff, Speakeasy and a host of others carry the adapter kits to make your A match the Leslie you choose. Best to run your choice by the group first, since folks like Chris Clifton, Steve Hayes and others can give you the upshot on what adapters are available, etc. Now, as regards "B+": That's the high voltage that's needed to operate the vacuum tube elements in the preamp. For consoles like your A, my CV or Ken Godfrey's BCV, the B+ is supplied by the tone cabinet's power amplifier. In my C-3, the power supply components are built into the pre-amp. So if you set aside your tone cabinet for a Leslie, we have to supply this voltage (+200, to be exact) from another source. It can come from SOME Leslies, or the add-on power supply I mentioned.

So what you are saying is that pretty much any model of Leslie would work and a B+ supply is readily available? What's "B+" mean? Would the 6 pin cable and plugs still work or does this require something different? I think what I'm going to do is find the Leslie and know there's a way to make it work and then worry about the how to do it part after I've got the goods! Thanks you for your help! "Big G" :) Yahoo!
