[HAM] 21H Leslie

[joe doria]

Hm...
well I guess I kinda disagree, $800 is not outrageous money if it's in good 
shape and sounds/plays great. Have you priced a new 122 lately?
I mean, sure he might be able to wait and find a better price on a 122/21H, 
but on the same token it's not an outrageuous price for a good to great 
sounding single speed leslie - especially one that he might want in order to 
get playing/recording with "right now".

note: for jazz many prefer (myself included) unplugging the 122's slow 
motors anyway (21H offering, minus 5 watts). It's a decent deal, but 
eh...I'd try and talk him down a bit just the same. Always haggle unless 
it's something you can't pass up.

Having some stock Jensens in good shape in there are great, but..not a 
must/dealbreaker in my opinion.  I say if you want it, need it...go for it. 
Just keep in mind not to blow your top if you read an ad for a 122 for $50 
the next day ;)P - that's how it goes sometimes.

I'd ask yourself if you NEED it and want to get playing with one now (or... 
can you wait for a deal to open up).
