Find the section on Leslies.  A 716 is not listed.  I
suppose that doesn't mean it can't exist.  Based on
what is there in the 700 series, I'm surmising it's a
solid state 2channel Leslie.

Curtis, it shouldn't be.  The other fellow who said to
use an 1188 connector kit is probably right on. I use
one. I have some experience with 700 series; I own 2
720's.  I had to install a Trek II crossover (LCO-1 I
think) to use it as a single channel Leslie with my
A100.  I love it...still lusting on a 147, but it
sounds frikin great in the studio and on tape/digital
recordings.  My 720 is 90 watts, but I see the 715 is
a whopper at 215 watts.
  Anyway, I should think there'd be no problem in
hooking it up.  Mine is connected via the speaker
wires. With a B2 or any Hammond w/o speakers, you'd
have to investigate the right way to connect. And
since I've *never* even touched a halfmoon switch, I
like my toggles just fine.  Wish I had a footswitch
though!  Hope this helps some.
