The topic of micing Leslies came up here some months ago.  The best bet 
for mic-that-Leslie-on-a-budget is an SM57 on the bottom and another at 
the top 90 degrees apart; i.e. the bottom-rotor mic would face the front 
of the cabinet (away from the amplifier) and the top-rotor mic would face 
the side of the cabinet.  I like this arrangement, pan the mics hard left 
and right and add a dash of reverb...sounds delicious! ;-)
