[HAM] Connecting an H-182 to a Leslie 22R

[jec at afo.net]

Hello Dave,

Thank you for responding. The power amp had been removed from the Leslie 
supposedly to be gone over. There are also some cut wires coming from the 
upper portion of the Leslie that I believe go to the power amp. There 
appears to be a red and black wire and a two pin connector that I believe is 
from the crossover. There is a 120 ohm, (maybe 3-5 watt), resistor just 
hanging from the red and black wires. There is also what looks like a common 
lamp cord coming from the upper part of the Leslie and this cord is twisted 
onto the 2 wires for the lower speaker motor. The Leslie also came with some 
sort of connector box labeled, "Leslie connector, #26-1". Yes the organ does 
play through the internal speakers. There are no half moon switches that I 
can see.

Thanks again,
Jim
