Seen lots of stuff about the Leslie 760 'n' if it's got cloth or louvres.
The European imported 760 definitely does have a vinyl covered cabinet with
grille cloth. It looks like a road-version Leslie (sounds like it too -
forget warm, smooth tones and full throated screaming). Some early ones had
wood bass-rotor drums, later examples had expanded polistyrene drums
(instant starters/choralers).  Bass speakers were originally 8 ohms
though a few of the last imports had 4 ohms 15"ers.  The wood cabinet some
of you are probably thinking about was the 770. Same as the 122/147 in
almost every way except for the harsh-sounding transistor amps (2).

Hope this helps.
