The answer depends on how the Leslie is wired to the A-102.

If it's wired into the speaker-level outputs of the AO-39 power
amplifier, then you probably want the load switch set to the eight ohm
position.  (Possible exceptions to this are if the A-102's builtin
speakers are never disconnected from the power amp, or if your Leslie
kit has a load resistor built into it.)

If your Leslie is wired to one (or both) of the G-G outputs from the
AO-28 preamp, then you'll probably want the load switch in the "open"
position.
