My friend has a standard sized Leslie with two 10-inch speakers--missing a few parts.  Any idea which model this is?

G'day,

If by "standard size" you mean a 41" cabinet, then the only Leslie built that contained two 10" speakers was model 300.

A 300 would be a rarity. Blue Book doesn't even list it and the only info I can find is that it was made for Thomas organs. Ian's obviously got more data than me!

Just in case it's been modified, can you post a photo or two to confirm the ID. What you do think is missing?

It's not what you play, it's not how you play. It's the fact that you're playing that counts.

The 300 had a 15-inch Jensen, so it isn't that.  It is missing the amp and one single-speed motor.  There are no louvers up top.  Standard walnut cabinet.

G'day,

When I said model 300 had two 10" speakers, I wasn't suggesting that's all it had.  It does in fact have a 15" Bass, Two 10" (answering your question) & a non rotary treble driver.  And Andy's quite right it was a Thomas cabinet.

AND it's the only model in my list of 125 that has two 10" speakers, even all the early single speed jobs with 2 digit model numbers used 15" bass.

I think you may have to provide us with more detail.

Kam-pai,

Ian

Please post a photo.  The very rare 5-channel Gulbrasnen Leslie 201 also had 10" speakers, but 4 of them.  It also had a single speed tibia rotor.  I assume your cabinet also has a rotor?? (or else why would you say the motor is missing??) and NO bass speaker.  Either way this seems to be a proprietary Leslie cabinet which may (or may not??) be useless for your application without significant mods.  Are there no markings on the back panel?

I have owned a Leslie 300--this isn't one.  The 300 has three 6X9 speakers up top.  This one doesn't.  No photo as of yet.  I have owned many an odd (and standard) Leslie--130, 125, 45, 145, 242, 47, 142, 122, 247, 205, 212S, 147, 21-H, 31-H, 925, 900, 300, 22H, 750, 710, 825, 860--and none of them come close to this.
