[HAM] Hammond Leslie Reverb amp questions

[Dave Bishop]

As far as I know they were all the AO-35 reverb amps.  I have it somewhere 
in my notes that the #12 lamp is used in the AO-35, which is 6.3 V/150 mA. 
If you can't find one, you can solder wire pins to a pair of #47 lamps so 
they will plug into the two pin socket.  The lamp is employed as a limiter 
or compressor--a resistor would not serve the same purpose.  You'd probably 
get a squeal.  Most Hammond techs can sell you a #12 lamp-- here is a site 
at random:
