[HAM] Modified Leslie 145

[John Cornicello]

Hi Scott.

Finally got a chance to pull the amp and take some photos of the guts:

Looks like the AC cord goes to the switch and to a bridge between the fast
and slow motor outlets. Ground goes to the chassis The other tab of the
power switch goes to the fuse.

The 1/4" input has its tip going to the volume control. The sleeve seems to
be connected to the shield in that wire bundle, but not connected on the
other end of the wire bundle.

So, my question is, can I remove the AC cord and remove the protective
coverings from the Leslie connector and run it as a "standard" amp (and
still have the 1/4" input available, too)?

Thanks!

John
