Not making any assumptions here regarding this, more than likely, made for a dictation machine, switch. Although I think it looks vintage cool with a Leslie regardless.
The square plug does stand out though. The earliest Leslie's, the 30A has the square plugs...I posted many close up hidef images on an organ forum thread I started from a LESLIE 30A that went up on Ebay one afternoon. It was just 20 minutes into the auction that I uploaded the images... and someone bought the cabinet, and mentioned it on the Organ Forum. Take a closer look at the images to see if this plug is the same. The thread with the images probably has these words in it:
" LESLIE 30A , PAPER HORN , CALIFORNIA , EBAY " (It was about 5-6yrs ago).
NOTE, the 'tallboy' 30A and 31H cabs only had SINGLE SPEED ROTORS, and a switch on the upper side of the cab for [ROTOR OFF].
That said, this foot switch having a 2 sided L&R (marked on pedal, and notice the separate tread patterns) 'Two Switches', it's actually one switch too many.
Obviously it is just a coincidence that 'L' for LEFT can also serve as the 'L' for LESLIE. The R for RIGHT could be for 'RUN'...yeah' that's pushing it, but people used to say ' run that appliance' even if it was a toaster...but I digress.
Anyway, who cares, it would be a nice FAST/SLOW (L) ,and MAIN/ECHO (R)
[BTW 'echo' was what the external cabinets were referred as...my 1946' WURLITZER Series 31 electrostatic reed organ has 'ECHO' AND 'MAIN' on one TAB. Interestingly it has to be on 'MAIN' for it's external 310 'VIBRATO' rotary spkr cab to work. 'ECHO' I'm pretty sure isn't even wired to anything. There is no internal spkr in the series 31 organ. However, the series 30 Wulitzer is the exact same organ as the series 31 EXCEPT it DOES have an internal organ speaker. I'm pretty sure they wired it to the MAIN ( main/echo tab)...and the ECHO ( main/echo tab) was for the external 310 'VIBRATO' rotary cab. So it's backwards...
