The high end Kawai DX range had drawbars, it was the DX900 that took off
though, it was brought out to compete against the Yamaha D85... IMHO it
failed miserably.

Subject: Re: [hammond_zone] hooking up a-100 to 47leslie
While I was at Gulia's yesterday (Canton OH), in addition to the Leslie 251
they had, I also saw a Leslie 415. This is a solid-state, 11-pin,
two-channel
unit, slightly smaller than a 145 (27W x 18D x 30H vs 145 29W x 20D x 33H)
in
a wood finish case that was in pretty good condition. It has the main+reverb
inputs just like a 251. They were asking $700 for it. I didn't try it out,
but I thought about it for my church's A-100, I could've actually stuffed it
into my back seat, something I couldn't do with a 145 (that 2" of width
makes
a lot of difference).
Incidentally, the 251 they had apparently started life as a 147RV (it had
the
147RV sticker on the back). The amp had been swapped and the reverb unit
removed, leaving just the stationary speaker for the reverb channel. It was
"over $1,000" but I didn't ask specifics. They were willing to sell it solo.
They also had a B-3/142 pair there, plays well, case looks awful, for $3500,
and numerous CV's, A-100's, an A, etc. They also had an XB-3A, a very nice
Allen and - of all things - a Kawai that had drawbars/percussion. I'd never
seen that before.
