On one of my Leslies, chorale speed isn't working (a solid-state 760, which
I never used much anyhow).  The real difficulty I found without the slow
speed was that the rotor comes to rest in random spots (with respect to a
front-mounted microphone).

So, if you ever mic your Leslie (and you should -- you'll love the clarity
you get onstage from running your own monitor) you should get the chorale
motor running.  Or stop the lower rotor altogether, if you like that
"Memphis Sound", a la Booker T...
