    help please - B3 shorted at AC now will not drive leslie

    appreciate any help.

    was on stage...noticed that my leslie connect at the base of the organ seemed to have a short. at first thought it was the cable. turned out, when I opened things up, inside the leslie connect box at the floor of the B3, the shielding on the old AC wiring had gone brittle and the wires were bare..they were touching and shorting. I have electric taped them to insulate, but the contact seems to have shorted something upstream as now there is nothing going to the leslie..organ fires up fine but I'm assuming i have blown a driver tube or other component with the AC short?

    You could have melted the solder out of the connection where the feed to the Leslie plug wye's off of the connection to the power transformer.
