[HAM] 122 Problem:

[John Freund]

What do you mean you "have a relay" between them?  Does this mean your organ
is only rigged for one Leslie and you have a box that allows you to daisy
chain them?

At any rate - the actual switching relay is the 122 amp and regardless, the
fact that the Leslie misbehaves by itself probably means the box is not the
problem.  

If you have the original mechanical relay (not a solid state relay), it's
mounted behind the motor plugs (as you look at the amp in the cabinet).
You'll see a rubber grommet, a washer and a bolt head sticking out of the
chassis.  The relay is under that.

Try putting the switch in tremolo and rapping the top of the bolt with a
screwdriver handle.  If it switches speeds you have a sticky relay.  If it
doesn't the relay may be dirty or failing.

Take the amp out and spray some de-oxit into the relay either way and see
how it goes.
