Thanks, Al. The general aspect of the P100S is very similar to the porta B,
except that it does not have rocker switches for percu, vibrato, reverb,
etc... but "hanging" tabs like the L100 series instead. I am sure it has a
9-pin connector because I used to play it with a Leslie 760 (whose
half-melted and scratchy transistors don't inspire me anymore). I am pretty
sure it was never modified (came from a church), but I don't remember if it
has a 1/4' out. Knowing that, does it make the problem easier? I also
happen to have an original Leslie preamp, but with a 9-pin connector. Is it
possible to modify it?

By the way, are the speakers in a 760 the same or similar as in a 122? I
have a spare 122 amp I plan to put in the 760.

Thanks

Phil
