a beat up      (extrnally only as it turns out)Leslie 740 (I think) and
powered it with an      external amp and put a couple of relays on       the
motors controlled by a       footswitch, it sounded like crap...Now I have
have an A100 and a beautiful 710      (same electronics almost)   that does
not work for lack of a couple of replacement      reed switches. When I
realized what a stupid thing I had done I felt, and still      feel, like a
complete ass____, I would have had a box of spare electronic
components.  I think maybe early solid state stuff may be harder to find
than the      tube replacements.
