[HAM] leslie amp quiz

[mike p]

Scott,  the fact that nobody has guessed this yet worries me .  Maybe I'll 
be the one on the hot seat for the new year...  Thats OK learning 
experiences are good.

 OK ,  The answer is ----------
  There are 5  stickers on the amp and only 2 should be there .
 The "reverb amp only" sticker over the reverb amp plug is correctly there
 The white sticker by the 6 prong male that says "CSA"  is correctly there

There must have been 2 amps,  an early  147 with the silver painted chassis 
and this 70's gold color chassis 147 .
Looks like the  red leslie 147 sticker under the knobs , the red tube conf. 
chart,  and the white fast /slow sticker by the tremulant outlets have been 
peeled off  an earlier amp and stuck on this amp...   I've never seen a gold 
color amp with these stickers,  instead they have black lettering directly 
on the amp .   Just like anything else,  there could have been a 
transitional period in which the old supply was used up until gone. But 
stickers ?   Once again - any goldish  122 or 147 I've seen personally or 
seen on ebay or elsewhere for sale in the past 8 years has never had the 
sticker under the control knob(s)  or any side diagram , or anything except 
for the first 2 stickers listed.

Also look at the amp mount , its silver.  People are always taking the amps 
out the wrong way without the mounts .  Any silver amp I've ever seen has a 
silver mounting bracket,  same with the gold,  they have a gold mounting 
bracket.   Also we determined one of the transformers was changed indicating 
a 2nd earlier amp.  Judging from all the other operations this particular 
amp has been through ,  I would definately bet this was one of them .

Happy new year everyone ...
