  • link to any DIY Leslie speed selector switches?



    awhile back I remember there were websites with simple speed selector switches made with light switches. I have a leslie 16 and I can't be bothered to pay the cost on ebay for custom foot selectors. I would like to see if this is something I can make.</p>

    Surely this can be done with a soldering iron and over the counter stuff, right???</p>

    This guy here apparently found one:<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"></span><font><font color="#800080">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_K3KHkZ2t8&amp;feature=related</font></font></p>

    Not sure what he used though but it works with a DC motor. I don't think the lights peed selector switches work right with AC motors as they may make them overheat. On this forums "Building your own Leslie" link there is a guy, Skippy, who has experimented with this. I did see a post somewhere else about a variable speed switch that Ace Hardware sells for about 10$ that I think someone had success with fan-type motors with. Someone also suggested a sewing machine foot pedal but I don't know if that would work..

      Here are the diagrams you will ned to build your own mechanism:</P>

      First determine which "pieces" in this diagram youalready have of course. Then, for the pieces you don't have, build your own. Hope this helps.</P>
