The Vibrolux is one of my favorite small Fender combos. Give it a 110v feed to drive the motor and you're all set. I've put them in their own cabinets and fed them with the aux speaker out of another amp. No amp in the Vibrolux, and no need for that Leslie unit. What you have with that Leslie is basically a Fender Vibrolux in the making. Looks like you got something useful to work with there.Дjimbe wrote:I've done this job. This is one of the easiest salvage jobs there is, and the result (at least for me) has always been usable. I wouldn't waste my time with a solid state amp, but the tube amp I have is Princeton-like, so I'm going to the effort to re-use it. I'm in the middle of one such build right now. Sometimes you get lucky and the donor organ has a nice tube amp you can build into a head so you have a fully self contained amp/cabinet. Also, is the rotor wood or foam? The foam ones have a way of getting loose on the axel and wobbling around in a noisy and annoying fashion. See if the organ has 'vibrato' and choral' settings on a rocker somewheres. Could be those other wires in the multi-pin plug. These include organs and pianos made by Hammond/Suzuki, Roland, Yamaha, Kawai, Lowrey, Kurzweil and Leslie Speakers. You got a single speed unit or a 2 speed unit? If it's a 2 speed you'll want to suss out the speed change wires and maybe hook them to a foot switch. Although we are best known for servicing vintage Hammond organs and Leslie Speakers, we fully equipped and factory trained to offer warranty and non-warranty repairs on current makes as well. What would you guys recommend I do with this in order to use it for guitar/keys/vocals or other reamped stuff?

Would there really be any advantage of taking the solid state amp out of the organ to use with this leslie?ДЈ. So, what if I just fed it with the speaker output of a guitar amp? Add 120 for the motor and I'm good to go.Дў. This leslie uses the Lowrey's amp, and that amp also powers two additional speakers. In the case of every hammond or other organ I've seen, they already have an amp. I don't really understand why the bad-ass (122/142 etc) leslies need their own amps. I measured the 5 pin connector w/ the organ powered up and found the 120AC pin, 2 ground pins and 2 other pins that have no voltage reading but I imagine are the signal lines for the leslie's speaker.ДЄnyway, I have a couple questions concerning possibly turning this into something I can use for guitar, cheapie keyboards, and vocals.ДЎ.

Written on the Leslie is the model number 10LX-2S (which google turned up virtually nothing about) It's a solid state one called 'The Virtuoso' It doesn't sound all that great and there's a bunch of issues, so today I pulled out the Leslie. I found a Lowrey Organ awhile back on the street.
