Thanks Chris.

Is the control rotary? When you mention half-moon switches, my minds eye sees, on/off levers. I guess that Leslie did not indend to have the speakers mover around? Come to think of it, that is probably true. That is, until they started with those with the "leatherette" coverings. This is a wierd world of hammond. One more question... I almost purchased a 760. There is much conversation about it being very loud. I have a living room with two organs and some high fi stuff that is 16 x 26 and had planned to put it in a corner. I guess that its volume, inside the box, could be cut back, but I wonder how much that would hurt sound quality, as compared to a 251 or a 122 or 147 on my A-100 not "cut back?" I keep shopping. The prices on e-bay are not too bad, but the shipping is terrible as I am told. $250-$300 per 1000 miles, including protection and insurace. Oh! Well! Laddie ----- Original Message -----

A remote control kit was available as an extra, this added another half moon switch to the console with an extra cable to be laid along side the Leslie cable.
