    Leslie 860 Problems/Question

    Hey guys - new to the forum so please excuse me if this is a basic question or has been asked before :-). I just bought a Pro Line 860 Leslie cabinet from ebay and it won't spin. I am using a Trek UC-1A controller & have tried 2 different 11 pin cables. Sound passes through, but the rotors do not spin at all. Is there anything specific to look for to fix the problem? I also have a Leslie 825...are there any parts I can swap out from that to put in the 860 if I need to? Thanks in advance for your help!

    Have you read through the '860 under reno' thread to see if that helps you?
    It's not what you play. It's not how you play. It's the fact that you're playing that counts.

      Mitch, welcome to the forum.
      The 860 has three fuses. One of them is for the motor AC. 2 amps stock value I believe. These are a common failure point since the top and bottom motors together can draw more than that under the right conditions. So I would check there first. If it is blown replace with a 3 amp fuse instead. These fuses are soldered into the board so if you get a replacement the easier thing to do is to get one of those fuse holders that can clip on to the ends of the existing bad fuse.

      Of course make sure the Leslie is not plugged in when you check the fuses!
