[HAM] Best Leslie for a M-111?

[Jerry Fowler]

A 147 or 145 type leslie would require the least modification and are (in my
opinion) the best match-up for an M-100. The 145 and 147 have the same
internals, 145 is in a shorter cabinet. Both feature a 147 amp, which uses
"speaker level" signal from the amp in your organ.

As far as modifying your organ goes, you can go several directions. Some
people buy and install leslie adapter kits which include amphenol
connectors, switches, etc. My current setup is an M-162 with a Leslie 145.
My "leslie kit" is comprised of 2 alligator clips, a few wire nuts, and a
pushbutton foot switch for speed control.
