Maybe a dumb question, but how will the leslie amp's sound differ from a hifi amp? Another thing how can I connect the crossover to the hammond? Lots of questions but once I get my gear running properly, I will be very thankful(actually I already am) Gandert ----- Original Message -----
From: Chris Clifton To: hammond_zone@... Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 7:27 PM Subject: Re: [hammond_zone] leslie 760 amp Gandert, The +30 volts comes from the 760 power supply chassis. Without the 760 power supply you may have to make up a power supply for the crossover/preamp, a small transformer with 15 to 20 volts AC output a rectifier and a reservoir capacitor of a few 100 uF would probably do, you don't need a lot of power just make sure that it's sufficiently smoothed. The stock 760 amps had quite a good sound, I think that Leslies designed them to sound good with an organ, rather than to be Hi-Fi. The Dynaco would give you more power than the stock amp. in your L-100 (one pair EL84). I don't know how easy it would be to adapt to your purposes though. Chris Clifton There is a theory which states that if anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

You are probably right that it'll be cheaper to fix the 760 amp, but I woulds like to have a valve tone. And I see all these comments on the zone about replacing the 760 amp for a tube amp. I do know off course that not any tube amp will sound better, but any recommends? On the dutch ebay i saw a Dynaco with a stereo tube amp. It uses el84 tubes 17,5 watts per side.
