Leslie had a kit for the A-100 to a 147 type. It was the 8444 kit. All
it was were two 47 ohm resistors used as a mixer. Not that this dose you
any good yet and those values won't work with a 122. They also had a kit
to change an unbalanced signal to a balanced signal mostly used on
spinet organs to 122 type Leslies. That was the 8020 Kit. The Leslie 4H
Echo kit used four 820 ohm resistors to mix and match various Hammond
and Leslie balanced tone cabinets. 

So if you used an isolation transformer along with a 16 ohm resistor on
the input to make the reverb signal a balanced signal and then mixed the
reverb with the GG using lets say four 820 ohm resistors, you are in!
You don't need the echo switch unless you want to use one. Your reverb
knob should do all you need to do.

If you need any schematics of the above mentioned kits, let me know.

Any Hammond tech can get you the isolation transformer and resistors.

I do play out with the A-101/122, which has the reverb unit - is it
possible 
you can explain the procedure in routing the verb thru the leslie?  Are
you 
saying this is possible?
thanks for any help
